Press release

10 February, 2025

Legendary manor house, Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons, A Belmond Hotel, Oxfordshire celebrates its recognition of two Michelin Star status in the prestigious Michelin Guide Great Britain & Ireland 2025, revealed tonight during a ceremony at Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum in Glasgow.

 

Since opening in 1984, Le Manoir was first awarded two Michelin stars just months after opening and has held them continuously for over four decades, remaining at the forefront of garden gastronomy, both in the UK and internationally.

 

Le Manoir’s Chef Patron and founder, Raymond Blanc OBE comments,

 

 “Retaining two Michelin stars for 41 years is an incredible achievement and a testament to the passion, dedication, and hard work of my entire team at Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons, to whom I owe a huge debt of gratitude.

 

It fills me with immense pride and joy to see our commitment to excellence recognised year after year. This journey has been about more than just the stars; it's about creating unforgettable experiences for our guests and nurturing the talents of the future.”

 

Niall Kingston, General Manager of Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons reflects on the restaurant’s latest achievement, “This recognition is a true testimony to the vision of Le Manoir’s Chef Patron and founder, Raymond Blanc OBE’s vision, who together with Executive Head Chef, Luke Selby, has led a dedicated and passionate team in the pursuit of excellence, embodied in today’s achievement. Earning the two star status, the Green Star for our pioneering commitment to sustainability, alongside the Three Key status achieved last year, reinforces Le Manoir’s position as one of the U.K.’s leading hotels.”

 

In 2023, the property welcomed back Luke Selby, a former Le Manoir alumnus, as Executive Head Chef. Together, Raymond and Luke ensure the restaurant, and its country house setting continue to be regarded as one of the finest in Britain. The restaurant's two Michelin stars reflect not only the chef’s extraordinary talent but also the impeccable quality of ingredients, harmonious flavours, masterful techniques, and the consistency of excellence across every dish.

 

Le Manoir is also home to The Raymond Blanc Gardening School (courses from £110 per person for a half day class) and The Raymond Blanc Cookery School (courses from £210 per person for a half day class), where sustainability and provenance are at the heart of the learning experience. These schools offer guests the chance to explore the restaurant's philosophy and techniques while gaining insider knowledge in a creative and relaxed setting. The focus on sustainable practices is evident throughout, reflecting the ethos that drives the entire establishment.

 

Luxury overnight accommodation at Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons starts from £930 per night based on double occupancy on a bed and breakfast rate. For day visitors, lunch is served from Thursday to Sunday inclusive and dinner is served daily.  Guests are encouraged to arrive early and take time to discover the 11 gardens within Le Manoir’s 27-acre grounds.
