Michelin Bib Gourmand 2016: Awards for Nuno Mendes and Tom Kerridge

Michelin UK revealed the full list of new recipients on Twitter on the same day the entire Guide was apparently leaked​ via a bookshop ahead of its official release tomorrow (17 September).  

The Bib Gourmand recognises both quality and value of food, and is awarded only to restaurants serving three courses for under £28/€40.

A total of 25 new Bib's were awarded, 18 in England – including five in London - five in Ireland and two in Northern Ireland.

The award for Mendes’ Taberna do Mercado, which only opened in May this year, follows the restaurant being named ‘One to Watch’ at this year’s National Restaurant Awards.​

Kerridge received a Bib Gourmand for The Coach, while his pub The Hand and Flowers held on to its two Michelin Stars.
