Il 2014 è l'anno delle riconferme e delle novità per l'alta ristorazione inglese: la nuova edizione della guida Michelin, curata da Rebecca Burr, presenta 15 nuovi ristoranti che hanno guadagnato la propria prima stella, e non vi è praticamente nessun cambiamento per quanto riguarda i tristellati inglesi. I colossi a tre stelle mantengono infatti la loro posizione: il ristorante di Gordon Ramsay a Chelsea, The Dorchester di Alain Ducasse, The Fat duck di Heston Blumenthal e The Waterside Inn entrambi nel Berkshire. Heston Blumenthal guadagna inoltre una seconda stella per il suo altro locale aperto con il braccio destro Ashley Palmer-Watts: il Dinner, il ristorante situato all’interno dell’hotel di lusso Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, al 66 di Knightsbridge.
Tra i nuovi stellati inglesi 9 su 15 si trovano a Londra, che svetta come città protagonista nel panorama dell'alta ristorazione britannica, e non solo. Ai nuovi stellati londinesi si aggiunge inoltre lo chef Virgilio Martinez, che è riuscito a portare ad alti livelli la cultura gastronomica peruviana, con il suo ristorante Lima. E, sempre tra i nuovi nella capitale, non manca Story, il ristorante che Tom Sellers ha ricavato dentro ad un ex bagno pubblico a Bermondsey e che nel corso del 2013 è stato sulla bocca di tutti a Londra.
Oltre ai nuovi protagonisti della guida, come ogni anno ci sono anche i ristoranti che hanno perso l'ambita stella: dieci locali escono dalla Rossa, tra questi quattro hanno chiuso l'attività: Burlington (Devonshire Arms Country House Hotel), Bolton Abbey; Mallory Court (The Dining Room), Royal Leamington Spa; Hamborough, Wight (Isle of)/Ventnor; Crown at Whitebrook, Monmouth/Whitebrook; Locks Brasserie, Dublin; Rhodes Twenty Four, City of London (chiuso); North Road, Clerkenwell (chiuso); Petersham Nurseries Café, Richmond, London; Rhodes W1 (Restaurant), Regent's Park & Marylebone, London (chiuso); Semplice, Mayfair, London (chiuso).
