AN Ascot restaurant has been awarded one Michelin star within six months of the restaurant’s opening in September 2022.

Woven by Adam Smith promises diners an 'unforgettable culinary experience' while overlooking 240 acres of picturesque Berkshire parkland.

Adam rose through the ranks in the kitchens of The Ritz and The Devonshire Arms, before joining Coworth Park as Executive Chef in 2016.

Following the announcement, the chef said: "I am so happy to have reached this milestone with my driven and dedicated team, who have worked so hard and with such passion since we launched the restaurant late last year.

"For me, any accolade is so brilliant to receive but this really is a special time for us at Woven. Recognition from the Michelin Guide is a great honour.”

Adam’s menu offers 'familiar flavours reimagined in unexpected ways', combining the classics with modern touches.

The menu takes the finest produce from Britain and is inspired by the season changes.

General manager at Coworth Park Zoe Jenkins said: “Adam’s culinary skill is at the heart of Coworth Park and the launch of Woven has anchored our reputation as a dining destination in the English countryside.

"This accolade by Michelin marks the continued evolution of our gastronomic credentials across all of our restaurants and bars within the hotel. We are so proud of Adam and the team.”

Adam has gained numerous awards along the way including winning the Roux Scholarship in 2012 and being awarded Master of Culinary Arts in 2017.

Woven represents Adam’s career to date, with the chef taking his years of experience combined with a creative and a passionate, unique approach to cooking.
