Solihull fine dining restaurant wins three AA Rosettes joining an elite listing

The UK’s top restaurants and hotels were recognised at the highly anticipated AA Rosette Awards spring update held at RAK Ceramics Design Hub, London last night (Tuesday, February 27).. 

Among the celebrated, one establishment was awarded the distinguished four AA Rosettes, while an impressive sixteen have been presented with three AA Rosettes - including a fine dining venue in Solihull.

The AA Rosettes judges told how this is a true testament to the outstanding quality and originality across the UK culinary landscape. London-based restaurant, La Dame de Pic London, was the sole restaurant achieving the prestigious award of four AA Rosettes for its stunning classic dishes, featuring first class, seasonal produce, superb technical execution and flavour profiles.

Earning three AA Rosettes places restaurants on a pedestal of national recognition, showcasing their excellence far beyond their local borders. Solihull restaurant Toffs by Rob Palmer was the only local venue to win a new AA Rosette, placing it alongside seven other prestigious restaurants in the West Midlands which have also achieved this award.

Solihull is also home to one four star AA Rosette venue - Grace and Savour, which was presented to them in 2022.

What have the judges said about the new three AA Rosettes awarded to Toffs by Rob Palmer restaurant in Solihull?

In their new listing the AA Rosettes guide has said of Toffs by Rob Palmer in Solihull: “Located in the centre of Solihull, Toffs has a fashionably minimalist setting, bang on trend with its glass frontage and stripped back looks. 

“There’s some counter seating with direct views of the kitchen, and your food is served by the kitchen team – an engaging and friendly bunch.  Menus change with the seasons, with tasting options of five or seven courses at dinner, and four or five at lunch, with wine flights if you like. 

“Lighter versions are also available. Dishes are well-balanced and precisely executed, with some really interesting, inspiring flavour combinations showcasing the abilities of the chef.”

The restaurant is delighted with their award, posting on their Facebook page: “We are so incredibly proud to have been awarded 3 rosettes at the AA Hospitality Awards this evening. Huge thanks to AA Hospitality and to everyone who has supported us on our journey to bring you the very best of British dining.”
