The pub's chef, Tom Parker, appeared on BBC Two's Great British Menu competition last year.

WOW, first off, thanks all. This is the moment I have been working towards, it’s a little mental. It wouldn’t have happened without all your support. @MichelinGuideUK @_LisaAllen @NigelHaworth @ge0rginaa @whiteswan_fence @jonny_baron @wellgatefish @AndyClassone @jussellis

The pub was named in Britian's top 50 gastro pubs in 2017.

Top food critic Jay Rayner said the pub was performing 'miracles' after a surprise visit to the pub for a national newspaper review in 2015.

Congrats to @tomparkerchef from the @whiteswan_fence on his star. The day I drew up at that blocky pub will stay with me for a very long time.

Eateries are awarded a Michelin Star for their high quality cuisine and can be awarded up to three stars.

The restaurants, hotels and pubs which are given, or retain, their stars are published in the Michelin Guide every year.

It is the first time head chef Lisa Allen has been officially recognised as the holder after Nigel Haworth stepped down from his chef-patron role late last year to become an ambassador for the restaurant.

Absolutely over the moon and SO proud of the wife @_LisaAllen who has retained #MICHELINSTAR19 ⭐️ @NorthcoteUK for yet another year, but for the first time she is officially recognised as the holder ⭐️ #onon
