Esher’s Michelin-Starred Restaurants

Explore Michelin star restaurants in Esher, highlighting Nick Beardshaw’s acclaimed dining and his journey from elite kitchens to leading his own celebrated restaurant.

Nick Beardshaw is fast becoming one of the most important and well respected British chefs, perfectly representing a new generation that combines technical precision with accessibility in their outlook. His apprenticeship was served in some style at first with tutelage from Daniel Clifford at Midsummer House in Cambridge and later with 14 years at the right hand of Tom Kerridge in the two-Michelin starred surroundings of Hand &amp; Flowers in Marlow. Like many of his peers, it was the BBC culinary showcase Great British Menu that first really put Nick in the public eye when his fish course A Moon Shaped Pool was crowned the winner of the south west heat in 2023 and was selected for the eventual banquet. It then seemed inevitable that his own restaurant would soon be taking its own shape.
