The AA announced its March 2022 winners in a virtual ceremony this morning, recognising the restaurants achieving the highest culinary standards in the UK.
Establishments with three AA Rosettes are all outstanding restaurants achieving standards which demand national recognition well beyond their local area, while those awarded four AA Rosettes are considered among the top restaurants in the country.

Hide AdSpeaking on The Camellia, an AA inspector said: "The Camellia is part of a handsome Victorian mansion hotel, its walls covered with wallpaper depicting red and pink camellias. There are lovely views of the garden as well.
"The cooking is Modern British but with a sound foundation in the classics. Try a starter like hand-dived seared scallop with brawn, ‘deconstructed piccalilli', scallop roe powder and smooth burnt leek puree.
