The new Michelin guide for the UK has been published and while some are financially out of reach for many, a few starred restaurants are offering more affordable (relatively) options, particularly at lunch or early evening.
We looked at every Michelin restaurant on the new UK list and found 30 that offer set menu deals for £50 or less.
The cheapest, by a distance, is the £15 set lunch deal at The Coach, owned by Tom Kerridge, in Buckinghamshire.
A disclaimer from us – some of the websites are pretty tricky to navigate, and one or two proudly boast of not displaying their menus online, so a couple may have slipped through the net.
But here are the deals we found…
