The two Michelin star Raby Hunt has been named one of the top 25 restaurants in the UK. The region’s only restaurant to make the Estrella Damm National Restaurant Awards, which is selected by a panel of the hospitality industry’s top experts, including chefs, restaurateurs, food writers and critics, the Raby Hunt recently reopened following a £400,000 investment. It placed it above the likes of Michel Roux Jnr’s La Gavroche (38), Raymond Blanc’s Belmond Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons (55) and Dinner by Heston Blumenthal (60).
