THREE restaurants in Wirral have been name-checked in the respected Which Good Food Guide 2012, which is due out next month.

Fraiche in Oxton was named in the guide’s prestigious Top 50 Restaurants list.

The tiny 20-cover restaurant is already the only restaurant in Merseyside to have a Michelin star, and attracts diners from across the country.

The guide has listed Da Piero in Irby for the third year in a row, praising family team Piero, Dawn and Alan Di Bella for excellent food and exemplary levels of service.

Wirral-based chef Aiden Byrne received double mentions, one for his Collingwood gastropub in West Kirby, and one for The Church Green in Lymm.

He said: “I’m absolutely thrilled that both the Church Green and Collingwood have been included in this year’s guide – it’s a great honour.

“The ethos of both venues is great food, accessible to all and it seems our customers think we are achieving this, which is amazing.”
