Newly anointed two-Michelin-starred chef, Martin Burge, talks exclusively to Emily Manson about the shock of receiving a second star and what it means to finally get them in his own name.
The head chef of Whatley Manor in Wiltshire admitted he had harboured doubts about whether he’d ever get a second star and said he was surprised but “over the moon: by this year’s endorsement in the Michelin Guide to Great Britain and Ireland.

Burge has a pedigree background, having previously worked with chefs Richard Neat, Raymond Blanc and John Burton Race.
