Fifty Two restaurant in Harrogate receives Michelin Star

Fifty Two, based at Rudding Park Hotel in Harrogate, was among the latest UK and Ireland restaurants to receive the prestigious accolade at the Michelin Guide Ceremony 2026, held in Dublin on Monday, February 9.

The restaurant is described by Michelin as “a theatrical platform for Chef Adam Degg and his skilled cooking”.

Housed in a converted shipping container, Fifty Two features an open kitchen, semi-communal tables, and a creative tasting menu centred on homegrown produce and preserved ingredients.

Michelin inspectors commended Mr Degg’s approach, noting that “Degg makes excellent use of preserved ingredients and each element on the plate shines through with great clarity of flavour”.

Guests are treated to a ‘playful’ dining experience, including ‘Dessert Island Discs’, where diners select a song to accompany dessert.

Notable menu highlights include the “exquisitely executed” honey custard tart crafted from the restaurant’s own honey.

Wednesday and Sunday menus are priced at £85 per person, while the full 10-course experience on Fridays and Saturdays costs £190 per person.

Optional drinks pairings start at £65, with a wine pairing upgrade available for an additional £35.
