This week chefs and foodies were put out of their misery when the Michelin Guide 2022 was finally unveiled.
The eagerly-anticipated list is released annually and showcases some of the best restaurants in the UK.
The prestigious award first started in 1900, and recognises the excellence of an establishment - each star often signifying decades of dedication and craft.
The plates are often flamboyant, with flashy set menus and obscure ingredients — but not all featured restaurants are out of touch or marked at ridiculous prices, the Mirror reports.
In fact, recent scoring praised places for their 'down-to-earth service' and 'fuss-free dishes', and there are plenty of restaurants that (when timed right), will only set you back £30.
Here's a full lowdown of the most affordable Michelin Star restaurants, where everyone can enjoy some of Britain's finest foods without breaking the bank...
