Tiny bistro in Ribble Valley named in Michelin Guide - just six months after it opened

An "endearing little bistro" in Lancashire's Ribble Valley has been named in the latest update to prestigious foodie directory The Michelin Guide. Fell Bistro in Longridge has made the latest list of the mysterious Michelin inspectors "favourite new restaurants" for February.

It's quite the achievement for the bistro that only opened six months ago. The new listing in the Michelin Guide describes it as an "endearing little bistro" and says the menu has "something for everyone, from mature local steaks to delicious fresh fish, all cooked with care, knowledge and understanding."

The Berry Lane venue in the Lancashire market town is spearheaded by chef directors Oli Martin and Matt Willdigg and operations director Alex Blamire. While Sean Wrest as head chef recently came on board to head up the kitchen.
