58 Midlands inns listed in latest Michelin pub guide

November 5th, 2012

Published November 5, 2012

The Michelin Guide to Eating Out in Pubs 2013 was released on November 1, 2012 and features 58 Midlands pubs. Nine of these hostelries are participating in this website’s Great Food Club scheme.

Michelin’s pub guide differs from its more famous Guide to Great Britain & Ireland (the newest version of which was launched on October 5, 2012) in that it focuses on “good food in informal surroundings”. Michelin’s pub guide does not operate a star-rating system like its sister publication, which puts more emphasis on fine-dining, but instead features a list of “inspectors’ favourites”.
