| Hedgefunder's Arms: Michelin star |
A popular Midway pub restaurant has just been added to the prestigious Michelin Guide.
The Hedgefunder's Arms in rural Buxley on the outskirts of Chattingham opened in

”All of Mummy and Daddy’s rich friends come here, along with our chums from the
City, and so we’re fully booked for the next six months. It’s all going so
swimmingly, OK yaaaah!”
