1. Seven
Michelin-starred chefs open Restaurant Angelique
Formerly known as The New Angel, the
iconic restaurant on the South Embankment in Dartmouth last
night celebrated its rebirth as Restaurant Angelique with 7
Michelin-starred chefs.
The Dartmouth community including
The Mayor, BRNC Commodore Jake Moores, Harbour Master Robert Giles, Nigel Way -
Chairman of the TIC, Dave Cawley - Dartmouth dot TV and a number
of local business owners were treated to a six course tasting
menu cooked by three individual Michelin-starred Chefs – Alan
Murchison, Darren Brown and Chris Horridge.
The chefs faced the challenge of not
only having to satisfy the local dignitaries and press but also
a number of fellow Michelin-starred chefs who were welcomed as
dinner guests including Nathan Outlaw, Simon Hulstone, Tom
Kerridge & Will Holland. Tom Kerridge said “I love what these
guys are doing at 10 in 8, it’s great for our industry and
Restaurant Angelique will have a special place in all our
hearts.” Richard Pursey, Chairman of 10 in 8 said of the evening
“It was wonderful to be so warmly received by the Dartmouth
community and we hope that in time we will have earned the trust
and faith so that we in turn can play our part in enhancing the
town’s reputation.”
Also amongst the dinner guests were
Malcolm Hayter, Laetita Hequet and Wendy Powell together with
their partners. The three lucky locals had each proposed the
name Angelique when the group employed the imagination of the
residents of Dartmouth to inspire the new name at the end of
2010. The restaurant's new website was launched
