Tom Kerridge and Greene King celebrate 20 years
Greene King Pub Partners presents a specially made plaque to display at The Hand & Flowers.
As the two Michelin-starred pub The Hand & Flowers celebrates its 20-year anniversary, landlord Greene King has added its congratulations into the mix.
In recognition of chef proprietor Tom Kerridge's 20 years at the pub, Greene King Pub Partners managing director Dan Robinson, operations director Mike O’Connor and operations manager Barrie Aspinall presented a specially made plaque to display at the venue.
A renowned gastropub, The Hand & Flowers received its first Michelin star in 2006, just a year after Keriddge opened it. The second Michelin star then followed in 2012. It is first pub to ever receive two Michelin stars.
"We’re proud of our partnership with Tom and his team, so it is with great pleasure we present this plaque to commemorate their 20 years at The Hand & Flowers," says Dan Robinson, managing director of Greene King Pub Partners. "Tom and his team have created a truly special experience at The Hand & Flowers, and we look forward to many more years of success in partnership together."
Marlow mainstay
In addition to The Hand & Flowers, Kerridge also operates the Butcher’s Tap & Grill in Marlow in partnership with Greene King. A boutique pub with a high-end butchery counter that services both the pub menu and meat for customers to take away, it was the blueprint for Kerridge’s Butcher’s Tap & Grill concept that has since expanded into a second site in Chelsea.
"Reaching 20 years at The Hand & Flowers is an incredible milestone, and it wouldn’t have been possible without my amazing team, so I want to say a massive thank you to them," says Kerridge. "I’m also hugely grateful for my partnership with Greene King Pub Partners. Having their support over the years has been invaluable. Here’s to many more great years ahead."
To mark the 20-year milestone, The Hand & Flowers has launched a commemorative ‘Classics’ Menu, paying tribute to the dishes that have "defined its journey" and "shaped its reputation" over the past two decades.
