A man tried the UK's cheapest Michelin star restaurant - and says it was "cheaper than a Nando's"."

Callum Ryan, 24, paid £22.50 for a set three course meal at The Coach in Marlow, Buckinghamshire.

He opted for a heritage burrata tomato salad to start, a smoked chicken mac and cheese for main, and a lemon posset for dessert.

The content creator said the portions "filled" him up and he would "100% recommend" it. "

Callum, from Wandsworth, London, said: "I honestly wasn't sure what to expect, but I left feeling really impressed."

"I thought there was absolutely no way you could get three courses for £22.50, that's cheaper than a Nando's."

"With the prices being so low, I expected smaller portions. But I wasn't disappointed at all."

"It was the perfect size and it filled me up just as much as a normal lunch would."

Callum visited the restaurant on August 8, 2025 and said it had a lovely charm.

He said: "The staff were attentive and welcoming from the start."

"That really made the experience for me."

Callum began with a tomato salad and said the burrata was "unreal"."

He said: "It's not normally cheap to get anything with burrata, let alone a three-course meal for £22.50."

The experience has changed Callum's view of Michelin-star dining.

He said: "I feel that Michelin star restaurants have that reputation of being very prestigious and more for wealthier customers. But if you find yourself a good set menu deal like this one, it really is worth the experience. "

"I am now keen to try other Michelin star restaurants around the UK and see how they compare."

"I would 100% recommend it to anyone."
