Top Kenilworth restaurant retains Michelin star

The Cross at Kenilworth received the accolade once again in the 2019 edition of the prestigious Michelin Guide, published on Monday October 1.

The pub-restaurant in New Street was first awarded a star recognising its high quality in the 2015 guide. The award came not long after chef director Adam Bennett started cooking there.

It then kept its star for a further three years before retaining it once again in the latest version of the guide.

Adam said: “I’m thrilled for the team who have worked extremely hard to maintain the high standards required for a Michelin star.

"We have a great ethos of making every experience memorable for our guests and that’s what drives us on to constantly raise the standards.

"Such accolades are a pat on the back to everyone involved."

However, The Cross is no longer the only restaurant in Warwickshire to have a Michelin star after Stratford restaurant Salt was also named in the 2019 guide.
