We are proud to be the exclusive plaques distributor for Michelin Guide GBI 2023 Revelation. After being a partner in 2019 and managed the Michelin plaques delivery, once again our Classic Fine Foods team took the road, to go hand-deliver in less than 3 months’ time, the well-deserved red plaque to the awarded restaurants throughout England, Wales & Scotland.

This has been a unique opportunity for us to connect & engage with Chefs & their team and to share together this fantastic accomplishment. Classic Fine Foods team members, from Sales, Purchasing, Operations and Marketing had the honour to hand-deliver the precious red plaques to 186 restaurants from April to June, many of which are our valued customers. It was a true pleasure to share this important moment with them.

We’ve been so pleased to offer to the awarded restaurants their official plaque which illustrates their belonging in the Michelin Guide family.

Created by Michelin and designed to be hung on the façade of their establishment, this decorative object also highlights the culinary excellence and talent that the establishment demonstrates on a daily basis. This is a huge achievement within the restaurant and hospitality industry, recognised around the world as a sign of culinary excellence.
