Restaurant recognised once again for fine dining offer

A restaurant at Morley Hayes has crowned a stellar 2024 after being awarded two AA Rosettes for the 12th consecutive year.

The Dovecote Restaurant, which in October was named Restaurant of the Year at the Marketing Derby Food and Drink Awards, has been recognised once again – this time by the prestigious AA scheme.

The Dovecote’s latest award highlights the restaurant’s continued culinary excellence, commitment to delivering exceptional dining experiences, and the use of high-quality, locally sourced ingredients.

First introduced in 1956, the AA Rosette scheme rewards restaurants for achieving high standards of taste, presentation, and service.

It champions culinary excellence and recognises establishments that consistently deliver a superior customer experience.

The coveted double rosette is only awarded to those restaurants and hotels that meet exceptionally high standards, particularly focusing on the use of top-quality ingredients.

Andrew Allsop, managing director at Morley Hayes, said: “Receiving two Rosettes from the AA for the 12th consecutive year is an incredible honour.

“It is testament to the hard work, passion and dedication of the entire Dovecote team, headed up by Nigel Stuart, who has been with us for more than 30 years.

“We take immense pride in delivering an exceptional dining experience and are committed to crafting memorable dining experiences that showcase the very best of Derbyshire.”
