A pick of British Michelin green star restaurants

Everything you need to know about the Michelin green star

  • The green star highlights restaurants at the forefront of the industry when it comes to their sustainable practices. It was introduced to the Michelin Guide Great Britain and Ireland in January 2021, and the list is updated annually.

  • Britain is now home to 36 green star restaurants, in recognition of their culinary and environmental efforts. In 2025, five new restaurants received a green star from the Michelin Guide Great Britain and Ireland:

    • Homestead Kitchen, Goathland
    • Jericho, Plungar
    • Native, Tenbury Wells
    • Pythouse Kitchen Garden, Tisbury
    • Wild Shropshire, Whitchurch
  • Many work directly with (increasingly local and on-site) growers, farmers and fishermen; forage in hedgerows and woodlands; grow plants and rear animals. They often use or source bio dynamic foods and go beyond environmental considerations to address issues related to ethics and well-being, as well as contributing to charitable and educational projects.

  • They consider things such as the provenance of the ingredients; the use of seasonal produce; the restaurant’s environmental footprint; food waste systems; general waste disposal and recycling; resource management; and the communication between the team and the guests about the restaurant’s sustainable approach.

Britain’s new Michelin green star restaurants for 2025

Four new British restaurants have been honoured with a Michelin green star in 2025. If you’re looking for great food with a focus on sustainability, why not book a table at these eco-friendly eateries?

Homestead Kitchen, Goathland

Homestead Kitchen’s menus take inspiration from the wild and wonderful North York Moors: think locally farmed meat, the freshest fish from Whitby and homegrown fruit and vegetables from their kitchen garden and orchard. You won’t go hungry with chef Peter Neville’s hearty, delicious dishes. The team work closely with their local community and put great efforts into sustainability – down to reusing their menus as seed pots! 

Jericho, Plungar 

Bring your appetite for chef Richard Steven’s 20-course tasting menus. Based on a farm in the beautiful Vale of Belvoir, Jericho puts the spotlight on Leicestershire’s produce, including homegrown vegetables and local game. Natural, organic and biodynamic wine is sourced from small family businesses, while custom pottery is created by a local artisan. This is farm-to-fork eating at its very finest.

Pythouse Kitchen Garden, Tisbury 

It’s been a bumper year for Pythouse Kitchen Garden so far, earning not only a Green Star but also a Bib Gourmand from Michelin. As its name suggests, produce from its own three-acre grounds is the star of the show and shapes its menus, from brunch to dinner. Food is served in a former potting shed in a Victorian walled garden, so you’ll be dining at the heart of nature. Look out for its seasonal supper parties celebrating each Equinox and Solstice. 

Wild Shropshire, Whitchurch 

For an intimate dining experience, Wild Shropshire welcomes just 14 guests to sample its daily surprise menu. Chef James Sherwin’s carefully crafted dishes are infused with Japanese influences and make the most of hyper-seasonal produce grown on his own farm. A key aim is to divert as much waste as possible from landfill and their efforts mean that they’re currently 96% waste free.
