We are delighted to share the news that Àclèaf, the MICHELIN-Starred restaurant nestled within our Boringdon Hall Hotel near Plymouth, has been awarded Best Destination Restaurant at the Condé Nast Johansens Awards for Excellence 2027.
Congratulations go to Chef Patron Scott Paton and the entire Àclèaf team on this proud recognition. It is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the genuine care they bring to every evening, creating exceptional experiences for our guests.
A testament to the team
From the craftsmanship in the kitchen to the warm welcome and thoughtful service at the table, this award recognises a shared commitment to making every detail matter.
For us, it reflects what hospitality should be: doing the essentials brilliantly, anticipating the little things and helping guests feel truly looked after. We are proud of Scott and the team for bringing that philosophy to life at Àclèaf, evening after evening.
Truth with elegance
With a MICHELIN star maintained for four consecutive years and four AA Rosettes, Àclèaf’s story is one of dedication, consistency and creativity. Under Scott’s leadership, the restaurant follows an ethos of “truth with elegance”, celebrating the finest ingredients from Devon’s moors and coast, and beyond, through honest cooking and thoughtful technique.
Overlooking the historic Great Hall within our five-star Boringdon Hall Hotel, Àclèaf offers an intimate setting for an evening to remember. Guests are invited to explore seasonal flavours through a signature four-course menu or embark on a culinary journey with the seven-course tasting menu.
A proud moment to share
At Philema Hospitality Management, we are committed to supporting our teams. Recognition such as this is a moment to pause, say thank you, and celebrate the people who make those memorable guest experiences possible.
Congratulations to everyone at Àclèaf and Boringdon Hall, and thank you to our guests for your continued support. Whether celebrating a special occasion or making time for an exquisite evening, the Àclèaf team looks forward to welcoming you.
