The UK’s top restaurants have been recognised in the highly anticipated AA Rosette Awards, announced this evening at the RAK Ceramics Design Hub, London.
As one of the most prestigious announcements in the industry calendar, the awards highlight the evolution of the UK’s food scene, as boundary-pushing chefs and pioneering restaurants set new standards in British and global cuisine.
Among the newly awarded, two restaurants have received four AA Rosettes, while fifteen have been awarded three AA Rosettes, further cementing the UK as a leading force in world-class dining.
Surrey-based restaurant The Tudor Pass, was one of just two establishments to receive four Rosettes, standing out for its intimate, sophisticated dining experience with a menu showcasing seasonal delicacies. Meanwhile, Alex Dilling at Hotel Café Royal in the capital, also impressed the anonymous AA Inspectors who praised it as “one of London’s most elegantly stylish dining rooms with cooking to match.”
Earning three AA Rosettes elevates restaurants to a level of national acclaim, recognising their outstanding culinary excellence far beyond their local footprint. Those awarded four AA Rosettes are in an elite league, offering a truly outstanding gastronomic experience with remarkable consistency, that rank among the very best in the UK.
Simon Numphud FIH, Managing Director at AA Media said,
“We’re thrilled to celebrate the latest collection of outstanding restaurants. From innovative tasting menus to a renewed focus on provenance and seasonality, these establishments showcase the very best of what the British food scene has to offer. Huge congratulations to the remarkable chefs and front-of-house teams whose dedication have earned them this well-deserved recognition.”
As is tradition, each Rosette winner receives a signature RAK Porcelain AA Rosette plate, a recognised symbol of culinary excellence. Craig Martin, Head of Sales UK at RAK Porcelain, the official sponsor of the 2025 AA Rosette Awards, added, “We are delighted to provide the prestigious AA Rosette plates, marking these restaurants as true leaders in the industry. It’s an honour to celebrate the skill, creativity, and passion of this year’s winners – congratulations to all!”
Since 1956, the AA Rosette Awards have been awarded to leading restaurant and hotel venues across the UK. The allocation of three more Rosettes is determined by one or more visits by an AA inspector to a hotel or restaurant.
