- Upstairs by Tom Shepherd★ Michelin Located in the centre of Lichfield above his father's jewellery shop, this clever conversion provides a warm, relaxing space to show off the eponymous chef’s talents. It’s a deservedly popular place, offering short and long tasting menus that feature impressive dishes where flavour is to the fore and every ingredient has a purpose. Desserts are a highlight and could include the likes of 72% Araguani chocolate with crème fraîche, pecan, caramel and sherry. The attentive, enthusiastic staff genuinely love their restaurant – and you will too.15.7km
- The Boat★ Michelin Over the years, this smart roadside hostelry has evolved into a proper dining destination. The on-site ‘micro farm’ provides many of the top-drawer ingredients on the menu, while trusted local producers supply the rest. All of them are treated with a skilled, detailed approach by Chef Liam Dillon and his team, resulting in the likes of tender Staffordshire venison with smoked beetroot or Amalfi lemon parfait with their own fragrant honey. The whole experience is elevated by smooth, engaging service and dish descriptions from the chefs.18.7km
- Duncombe ArmsBib Owners Johnny and Laura Greenall were sad to see the hub of their local village shut its doors, so in 2012 they bought it, smartened it up and reopened it as a stylish dining pub – and it’s been a hit ever since. It’s an attractive place with a delightful terrace and a neighbouring red-brick barn which houses luxurious bedrooms that look out over the fields. The gutsy, keenly priced cooking routinely shows the kitchen's deft skills, from the subtle spicing of a café de Paris butter to the luscious filling of a classic custard tart.19.0km
- Lighthouse Restaurant The Lighthouse acts a culinary beacon in the Derbyshire countryside. A sweet, intimate restaurant, it provides a platform for the self-taught chef's ambitious seasonal cooking, which is presented as either a tasting menu or midweek 'Grazing Menu'. The latter offers great value for money and is designed for sharing, providing a shorter, more relaxed dining experience. Whichever menu you enjoy, look out for the fantastic, Thai-inspired coconut and chilli broth. A good selection of keenly priced wines accompanies.14.7km
- Larder Brasserie and Grill ‘All flavour, no pomp’ is the tagline at this relaxed, warmly run restaurant – and that’s exactly what you’ll get. Sit in the boldly decorated first floor restaurant or book a seat at the chefs table to be close to the action. Attractively presented modern dishes are sure to satisfy.15.7km
