Somerset Michelin-star restaurant wins prestigious Trencherman's Award
SOMERSET's only Michelin-star restaurant won the Trencherman's Award for Innovation and Creativity at the 2025 ceremony.
Winners of the South West's most prestigious hospitality awards were unveiled at a ceremony near Bath on March 24, 2025.
Merlin Labron-Johnson's hyper-local farm-to-table restaurant OSIP in Bruton won the Trencherman's Award for Innovation and Creativity.
Trencherman's Guide editor Abi Manning hosted the awards evening, which is known for being the region's 'hottest' event in the culinary calendar.
The event was attended by the movers and shakers of the South West food scene including leading chefs, restaurateurs, hoteliers, and food and drinks businesses.
As part of the ceremony multi-course dinner was cooked by previous award winners, three of whom are Great British Menu and/or MasterChef: The Professionals alumni, with the nine prizes presented between courses.
Trencherman's Guide editor Abi Manning said: 'It's always a privilege and a pleasure to bring together the Trencherman's community at our annual awards, which celebrate the crème de la crème of the region's dining establishments.
'The atmosphere was one of celebration and solidarity; we have such an abundance of talent, creativity and innovation in the South West and I think everyone present felt proud to be a part of that, and celebrated each other and the hospitality industry regardless of whether they came away with a winner's plate or not.'

The Exact Lip Liner Dakota Johnson Used in Materialists Is On Sale Now
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. In A24's latest film, Materialists, we meet Dakota Johnson's character, Lucy, a sharp New York City matchmaker with a knack for finding wealthy suitors for her clients. She pairs her matchmaking instincts with a city-chic style wardrobe—think comfy, pinstripe blazers from Aritzia and Paris Texas boots. Her signature minimalist beauty routine, likely centered around clean-girl beauty brands like Merit and Westman Atelier, includes a perfectly honed lip combo. If you spotted Johnson's Lucy applying a brown lip liner in a sleek black tube, you're not alone. Eagle-eyed fans quickly identified the produc as MAC Cosmetics' iconic lip liner—and it's currently 40 percent off. According to @dakotajohnsonscloset on Instagram, the lip liner appears in an early scene in Materialists, where Lucy peers over into a mirror and applies it. Fans revealed it's actually the shade Oak, which MAC Cosmetics describes as a 'soft beige brown' shade that gives Johnson's pout a touch of depth while blurring seamlessly into her lip's natural shade. Beloved by beauty obsessives and experts alike, MAC's iconic lip liner formula features a precision tip and a comfortable, creamy texture that can be used to fill and outline the lips. Johnson's go-to makeup artist, Georgie Eisdell, hasn't shared a full breakdown of the products used to bring Lucy to life. Still, if it's anything similar to the actress's red carpet must-haves, it's clean, breathable, and can withstand make-out sessions with Lucy's promising suitor (Pedro Pascal) and a not-so-promising ex (Chris Evans). And with 40 percent off MAC Cosmetics' site, this is a steal you can't miss. While you're at it, shop a few ELLE editors' MAC Cosmetics favorites below.

After almost 20 years, this Italian restaurant in Miami Beach has closed for good
Another restaurant has fallen victim to Miami's cruel summer. Sardinia Italian restaurant at 1801 Purdy Ave. in Miami Beach served its last plate of pasta and poured its last glass of wine on Father's Day. The restaurant, which was famous for its robust wine list and wood-burning oven, announced its closing on social media. There was no reason given for the closing, just heartfelt thanks to loyal customers. 'It's the end of an era,' the post said. 'As we draw the curtain on an incredible 20 year journey, we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude. Your support has been the foundation of our success, and every meal shared, every story exchanged and every smile has made our restaurant a home.' 'We are deeply thankful for the memories we've created together and the friendships we've forged. It has been an honor to serve you, and we will cherish these moments forever.' Sardinia was owned by Chef Pietro Vardue, who grew up in Sardinia, and restaurateur Antonio Gallo. The partners opened the restaurant in 2006 in the Sunset Harbor neighborhood, serving pasta, pizza, grilled meats and seafood. This isn't the only closing affecting the Miami Beach area recently. The steakhouse Red South Beach closed in May after 17 years in Miami Beach, while the French spot Le Zoo closed in April in Bal Harbour. Other notable closings around town include the Michelin-recommended Portuguese restaurant Sereia, which closed at the end of May, and the Michelin-starred EntreNos closes at the the end of June.
