Which UK restaurants lost stars in the 2026 Michelin Guide? Full list of 10 eateries

Monday February 9 was a day of major celebration for dozens of fine dining restaurants across the UK and Ireland. It was the long-awaited day that Michelin handed out a brand new batch of its coveted stars. But Michelin giveth and it taketh away. 

Every year, there are a small number of restaurants that have their stars removed. Most of the time, the loss of a star is down to somewhere closing down, relocating or being refurbished rather than its quality going downhill. 

Of the 10 places that lost their stars last night, there are two that are still in operation. One of them is Humo in London, which switched leadership last year from chef Miller Prada to Scottish chef Robbie Jameson. The other is Canterbury gastropub The Bridge Arms, which changed hands in the summer with a new, more casual concept. 

The rest of the spots that no longer have a star were all places that permanently closed last year. There was Pascal Aussignac’s Club Gascon in London, which has been around since 1998 and earned its first Michelin star in 2002. But just last week, it announced that it would be closing its doors in March. The restaurant’s owners Aussignac and Vincent Labeyrie said in a social media post: ‘With both gratitude and a heavy heart, we share that Club Gascon will be closing its doors following dinner service on 28 March’. 

Shoreditch fine dining spot Lyle’s also said farewell last year and was removed from the Michelin star roster. Crocadon in St Mellion, Cornwall was left off the list after shutting down in October with chef Dan Cox looking to new pastures, as was Hjem in Wall, which shut in December but is living on in the form of residencies at other local restaurants. 

Raymond Blanc’s Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons in Oxfordshire was also omitted from the guide this time around as it undergoes a huge year-long refurbishment. When it reopens in 2027, it’ll be taken over by three Michelin star French chef Arnaud Donckele. 

All of Michelin’s three-starred establishments, including Moor Hall in Aughton and L’Enclume in Cartmel maintained their top rating.
