We are delighted to see that Tim Allen’s restaurant Sō-lō in Aughton has received a Michelin star for the first time in the 2023 Michelin Guide.
At a special event from Silverstone racecourse in Northampton on Monday evening, Sō-lō was the only restaurant in Lancashire to receive the accolade for the first time after opening just over 12 months ago. Fellow Aughton based restaurants Moor Hall and The Barn at Moor Hall also retained their Michelin Stars too – massive congratulations to Mark Birchall and the team!
The restaurant’s menu is filled with Chef Tim Allen’s modern takes on British food and brings a unique informal dining serving experience, serving modern British dishes with influences from around the world to a quaint corner of West Lancashire. Tim’s vision is for his guests to enjoy a casual dining experience that is accessible to everyone, serving delicious well executed food in informal surroundings with a well thought out drinks offer.

“Having worked at various well-regarded restaurants around the country, Tim Allen brought plenty of experience to his first solo venture in this brightly decorated and warmly run converted pub.
“His contemporary, seasonally pertinent dishes come with some unique touches; he lets each flavour-packed core ingredient shine but also carefully considers the textures of each dish. The lunch menu represents good value.”
Tim and the team have created something truly unique that appeals to customers from all around the region and beyond and after receiving such a huge honor and a rare accomplishment, this will continue to grow from strength to strength.
Congratulations Sō-lō!
