A diner recently visited the most cost-effective Michelin-starred restaurant in the UK and was surprised by the reasonable pricing. Michelin Stars are prestigious accolades awarded by the Michelin Guide to recognize outstanding culinary experiences, with restaurants receiving one, two, or three stars based on their excellence.
Despite the common belief that dining at a Michelin-starred restaurant in the UK can be expensive, content creator Callum Ryan demonstrated otherwise. Known for sharing his food adventures and travel stories with a large following on TikTok, Callum recently reviewed The Coach in Marlow, Buckinghamshire, a one-star Michelin pub owned by renowned chef Tom Kerridge.
Callum shared his experience in a TikTok video, expressing his amazement at the affordability of the meal. He praised the tomato salad with burrata and basil pesto as one of the best salads he had ever tasted and enjoyed a smoked chicken macaroni cheese as the main course, rating it highly for its creamy richness.
The overall quality of the meal, along with the presentation and service, earned a perfect ten out of ten from Callum. He revealed that his two-course meal cost only £15, while opting for three courses brought the total to £22.50. Impressed by the value for money, Callum recommended others to try the restaurant.
His TikTok review garnered over 104,200 views, more than 2,000 likes, and sparked numerous comments from viewers. While some criticized the portion sizes for being small, others praised the eatery, with positive comments highlighting the quality of the food.
In addition to The Coach, the Michelin Guide also features other affordable options at Michelin-starred restaurants like Bulrush in Bristol and Le Champignon Sauvage in Cheltenham, offering reasonably priced tasting menus and dinner options.
