A pub in North Yorkshire has been named the best restaurant in the world.
The Black Swan in Oldstead beat Heston Blumenthal’s The Fat Duck and Raymond Blanc’s Le Manoir in an international poll based on customer reviews.
It was ran by TripAdvisor which said it was the first time a British restaurant had won the title since the awards began in 2012.
The travel website said the winner was selected based on the millions of reviews and opinions collected on the site over a 12-month period.
The Black Swan has a Michelin star and 4 AA Rosettes. It is run by head chef Tommy Banks and his brother James.
Tommy said: “It’s a huge honour to win this award, but what makes it really special is that it’s been awarded because of feedback from our customers.”
