We are thrilled to share our immersive dining experience, FIFTY TWO has been awarded one Michelin Star in the Michelin Guide Great Britain and Ireland 2026. Head Chef and Host Adam Degg said: “Winning a Michelin Star honestly means the world to us. When we opened FIFTY TWO in 2024, the goal was to create something genuine, fun and rooted in the incredible produce we grow right here at Rudding Park. So much of what we do starts in the Kitchen Garden, and I have to give huge credit to Emma, our Head Kitchen Gardener, whose work shapes every dish we serve. I’m incredibly proud of our small but mighty team; this recognition is a reflection of their energy, creativity and belief in what we’re building. I’m also deeply grateful to the Mackaness family for trusting me with this project and giving me the freedom to create my dream restaurant. To have Michelin recognise our approach is an amazing feeling, and we’re just getting started.” Drawing directly from the surrounding grounds and the namesake ‘52’ raised beds in the Kitchen Garden, FIFTY TWO takes its cue from Mother Nature. The restaurant’s dedicated garden - led by Head Kitchen Gardener Emma Pugh - yields more than 500 varieties of herbs, fruits and vegetables, ensuring no two nights at FIFTY TWO are ever the same.

RUDDING PARK OPENS NEW IMMERSIVE DINING EXPERIENCE FIFTY TWO opened on Thursday 16 May and fresh from his appearance on this year’s Great British Menu, Adam Degg takes the helm as Head Chef and Host. Inspired by the number of raised beds in Rudding Park Kitchen Garden, FIFTY TWO will take its cue from ‘mother nature’ with dishes created using the highest quality ingredients cultivated in the kitchen garden or selected from trusted local producers and purveyors, whilst carefully selected wines, freshly made juices and garden-inspired cocktails complement the food.
