AA Guide Changes - 31/03/2018

Unlike many other UK and Ireland food guides, the AA Guide is constantly updated throughout the year. The AA Guide restaurant changes from around 31/03/2018 are detailed below. We list both increases and decreases in AA Rosette awards, as well as complete removals from the AA Guide.

The AA continually inspects restaurants throughout the year. A restaurant can be awarded one or two AA Rosettes at any time, however three and four Rosettes are only awarded twice a year, and five Rosettes only once per year. The above table lists the restaurants that were awarded more AA Rosettes around the date specified.

AA Rosettes Decreased

Name	Location	Old Award	New Award
The Millstone at Mellor	Blackburn
Porto	Windermere

Any restaurant that when inspected, is no longer deemed to meet the standards of a previous AA Rosette award, can have its AA Rosettes reduced at any time. This usually comes in the form of restaurants previously holding two AA Rosettes being reduced to one. The restaurants above had their AA Rosettes reduced around the date specified.

AA Rosettes Reduced To Zero

Name	Location	Old Award	New Award
Holbeck Ghyll Country House Hotel	Windermere		-

Restaurants that have their AA Rosettes reduced to zero still appear in the AA Guide, however they may subsequently be removed. AA Rosettes are usually reduced to zero when a change of chef or other major change takes place. Whilst a restaurant has zero AA Rosettes, it will not appear in our database (unless it also holds other awards).

Removed from AA Guide

Name	Location	New Award
Temple Sowerby House Hotel and Restaurant	Penrith	-
Bridge House	Beaminster	-
Castle House	Hereford	-
The Eagle Tavern	Faringdon	-
The Riverbarn	Fonthill Bishop	-
The Bar and Grill at the Waterhead Hotel	Ambleside	-
Town Hall Tavern	Leeds	-
Three O Two Restaurant at the H10 London Waterloo Hotel	London	-

The above restaurants no longer appear in the AA Guide. This is most often due to restaurant closure, however the AA can remove any restaurant from their guide at any time if it no longer meets the required standards to be eligible for one or more AA Rosettes.
