Moor Hall restaurant 'over the moon' to retain best in the UK title

Lancashire's Moor Hall has retained its title as one of the top restaurants in the United Kingdom.

Chef Mark Birchall opened the venue in 2016 and within only two years, built Moor Head to receive two Michelin stars and pave its own path in the industry as one of the country's finest establishments.

Several years later Moor Hall boasts the highest honour possible as one of the top restaurants in all of the United Kingdom, along with the title of England's best restaurant in 2023.

The National Restaurant Awards are decided by a panel of more than 200 experts drawn from across the industry including food writers, chefs and restaurateurs. Moor Head has continuously topped the list with its stunning Lancashire Grade-II listed building set across five acres of gardens including its own lake.

The beautiful glass-fronted restaurant has an open kitchen as well as a walk-in cheese room, where diners are encouraged to visit to make their selection. Moor Head also makes its own charcuterie in-house and uses honey from its five beehives located within its verdant grounds.

Thrilled with their achievement, Mark Birchall told the ECHO: "I am blown away. Honestly, Moor Hall is such a team effort, we have the best staff, at the top of their game, and we have incredible producers, suppliers, growers, and artisans -everyone has a part to play.

"We are all so passionate about what we do here, we want to deliver the best possible experience for our guests, and we only ever want to do better than the day before. Thank you to everyone who voted for us and congratulations to everyone who made the list and of course a special mention for Ynyshir. It was great to see everyone at the awards and to be there with my head chef, James, and general manager, Adam, who both have been at Moor Hall since the day we opened over six years ago. We had a great night.
