Slur on best chef: Letter
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: It is not my habit to attack other guidebooks, but it is a hair-raising outrage that the AA has stripped of its fifth rosette what I am convinced is by far the country's best restaurant.
Michel Roux, chef-patron of the Waterside Inn, at Bray, Berkshire, is in my view this country's greatest chef and this absurdity will not reflect on him but on the AA Guide which should perhaps be "inspected".
It will probably comes as a slight surprise to Her Majesty the Queen, whose 70th birthday dinner was supplied by the man who everyone except the AA thinks is Britain's most exceptional chef.
