Chartwell, the new modern fine dining restaurant at Aldwark Manor Estate, has been officially added to the Michelin Guide Great Britain & Ireland, just seven months after its launch.

Known for its playful yet refined dining experience, Chartwell is recognised by Michelin for its inventive tasting menu and unique charm that perfectly complement its historic surroundings. The news comes just a couple of months after the restaurant was also awarded 3AA Rosettes.

Tucked away in the beautiful countryside, 15 miles from York and Harrogate, Chartwell at Aldwark Manor Estate offers diners a journey through modern British cuisine.

The Michelin Guide highlights Chartwell’s fun and unexpected details, such as a bookcase that cleverly conceals a secret bar (named The Other Club), and a kitchen-view camera hidden behind a mirror—adding an element of discovery and delight to the dining experience.

Combined with bold décor and creative dishes, the restaurant stands as a testament to contemporary dining that remains rooted in quality and tradition.

The Michelin Guide Inspectors travel year-round to uncover exceptional restaurants across Great Britain and Ireland, assessing new and existing establishments for inclusion. While distinctions such as Stars, Green Stars, and Bib Gourmands are revealed annually at the Michelin Guide Ceremony, Inspectors release new additions to the guide on a monthly basis.

Highlighted with a ‘New’ symbol, these restaurants represent the latest exciting finds and are featured on the Michelin Guide website and free mobile app. Chartwell’s inclusion for December underlines its growing reputation as a destination dining experience.

Chris O’Callaghan, Executive Head Chef at Chartwell, expressed his pride at the recognition: “We are thrilled to see Chartwell included in the Michelin Guide. This recognition reflects the dedication and passion of our entire team. We strive to create dishes that surprise and inspire while showcasing the very best of modern British cooking in a truly unique setting.”

Chartwell’s tasting menu showcases a thoughtfully curated selection of inventive and modern dishes that highlight seasonal ingredients, executed with precision and creativity to reflect the estate’s rich heritage and contemporary flair.

Located within Aldwark Manor Estate—a striking country house that seamlessly blends luxury, tradition, and playful sophistication—Chartwell has quickly become a destination for food enthusiasts.
