  • Guide Michelin Eating out in Pubs 2013
    INFORMATION PRESSE Boulogne, le 1 er novembre 2012 GUIDE MICHELIN EATING OUT IN PUBS 2013 L’édition 2013 du guide MICHELIN Eating Out in Pubs sera disponible en librairie et en ligne dès le vendredi 2 novembre au prix de 13,99 livres (16,99 euros en Irlande). Cette année, le guide recense plus de 550 pubs, dont 81 nouveaux établissements, situés dans tout le Royaume-Uni, depuis Kylesku en Écosse jusqu'à Perranuthnoe et Southwolt en Angleterre en passant par Cahersiveen en Irlande. Sous la direction de Michael Ellis, Directeur du guide MICHELIN, cette sélection montre que la qualité de la cuisine proposée dans les pubs ne cesse de s’améliorer, et que de plus en plus d'établissements choisissent de servir en priorité des produits régionaux. De nombreux pubs parviennent à relever le défi du rapport qualité-prix : « Les chefs n'hésitent plus à utiliser des pièces moins nobles afin de composer des menus à des prix plus abordables, notamment pour le déjeuner, souligne la rédactrice en chef du guide Rebecca Burr. Ils se montrent aussi plus souples que par le passé et acceptent plus facilement d'échanger les menus du bar et du restaurant. Certains établissements commencent même à proposer des petits-déjeuners, des brunchs et des pauses goûter l’après-midi.» Preuve de l’amélioration permanente de la qualité, deux nouveaux pubs se voient attribuer des étoiles MICHELIN cette année : le Hinds Head de Heston Blumenthal à Bray et le Red Lion Freehouse dirigé par Guy et Britt Manning, à East Chisenbury. Ces récompenses confirment que le Royaume-Uni dispose non seulement d'un solide patrimoine culinaire, mais compte également un grand nombre de chefs très talentueux et créatifs, qu’ils soient aux fourneaux ou propriétaires de pubs.

  • Old Pulteney Goes the Distance for Top Chef to Deliver Drop of World's
    For immediate release: Tuesday 29th March Old Pulteney Goes the Distance for Top Chef to Deliver Drop of World’s Best Single Malt Wick‐based whisky Old Pulteney has cemented its new partnership with Michelin star chef Aiden Byrne with a special delivery of its 1989 Vintage ‐ newly crowned the ‘World’s Best Single Malt’, one of the greatest accolades in the whisky business. Inspired to create a dish to pair with this award winning dram, Old Pulteney ambassador Aiden – chef at both Manchester House and The Church Green in Lymm ‐ met with an immediate problem: the buzz created by the win meant that there wasn’t a drop of the 1989 to be found. A search of the Distillery in the far north of Scotland and the company’s Airdrie‐based offices uncovered a single 50cl miniature of this precious liquid, and so the Old Pulteney team decided to make sure it made the journey from Scotland to Lymm safely in a style befitting such a rare and valuable dram. Michael Baty, a whisky packaging specialist from the Old Pulteney team, offered to personally chauffeur the miniature bottle to ensure it arrives safely in Aiden’s hands ‐ personally handing it over to the chef today at his busy The Church Green restaurant in Lymm. Aiden Byrne commented: ‘This really was above and beyond the call of duty! We have a busy week ahead of tastings and food pairings for Old Pulteney and I didn’t want to miss out on including the 1989, which is now the world’s best single malt whisky.
