A LICHFIELD chef is celebrating after cooking up a Michelin star for a local restaurant.

Liam Dillon received the honour at a ceremony in Dublin.

The venue is one of two Midlands restaurants to pick up a Michelin star for the first time – and one of only 20 new additions in the UK and Ireland.

A spokesperson for the Michelin Guide said:

> “The Boat’s star is the culmination of years of development by chef Liam Dillon.  
>  
> “His intricate dishes spotlight superb local produce, plus some from his own micro farm.”

The accolade means the area now has two Michelin-starred restaurants after Upstairs by Tom Shepherd in the city centre was previously honoured.
