Three pubs receive three AA rosettes

The Freemasons Country Inn, Wiswell, Lancashire, the Sir Charles Napier, Cghinnor, Oxfordshire and the Feathered Nest Inn, Nether Westcote, Gloucestershire have received the accolade.

Ten restaurants also received three rosettes while 21212 in Edinburgh was the only establishment to receive four.

"We are delighted to award four rosettes to 21212 as well as being able to recognise 13 new establishments with the achievement of three AA Rosettes," said AA hotel services manager Simon Numphud. "All have demonstrated a high level of consistency and accuracy in the overall cooking standards that our inspection team have experienced.

"Restaurants serving food of a three Rosette standard are worthy of recognition from well beyond their local area and I am delighted that these very deserving restaurants have been acknowledged for their efforts."

Rosettes are awarded by AA hotel and restaurant inspectors without any other influence.
