Yorkshire Guide 20182


In 2004 my partner Rena and I took over The Box Tree and moved our then young family to Yorkshire. We’re so proud to be based in Ilkley, a town surrounded by the Yorkshire Dales and host to a variety of excellent restaurants, cafés, bars and food shops. Restaurants in Yorkshire are lucky to have access to an abundance of local suppliers who take great pride in their wares – from award-winning cheesemakers, butchers and greengrocers to the Yorkshire triangle, which is famed for its rhubarb. All their dedication helps to provide endless gastronomic inspiration throughout the year, ensuring Yorkshire stays fi rmly on the culinary map and, on a personal level, enabling me to continue achieving excellence at The Box Tree. It’s not just suppliers and chefs like me who are passionate about local produce. The people of Yorkshire are ever-curious about the provenance of food they’re buying, and turn out in their droves to support local producers at annual events such as the Great Yorkshire Show, as well as at regular farmers’ markets across the county. There’s also a real enthusiasm among Yorkshire folk for eating out. This demand for top-quality restaurants has put The Box Tree in good company, with an assortment of exciting new restaurants and established eateries to choose from. Whether you’re in cosmopolitan cities like Sheffi eld and Leeds, or exploring the Yorkshire countryside, you’ll fi nd that good food is never far away.Food has evolved a lot in recent years, and the plethora of food programmes on television has made diners more adventurous at home. Ingredients that were once only found in restaurants are now readily available in supermarkets, which is having an interesting impact on the industry, compelling modern chefs to push boundaries and be more creative. This year at The Box Tree we are really proud to have retained our Michelin star for the 14th year running, and we’re embarking on some refurbishment at the restaurant, which is always exciting and keeps us busy. In addition to all of that, our events and outside catering company, Box Tree Events, continues to go from strength to strength. In this year’s Yorkshire Food & Drink Guide you’re spoilt for choice with fi rst-class cuisine to discover. I look forward to welcoming you and have no doubt that you’ll enjoy all that Yorkshire has to offer.

This small and sumptuous restaurant has retained a Michelin star, three AA rosettes and countless well-respected recommendations for the last 14 years – and it comes as no surprise. The Box Tree has been putting Ilkley on Yorkshire’s culinary map since the ’60s, and now owners Simon and Rena Gueller are lovingly upholding its reputation for unforgettable dining.The building itself dates back to 1720 and was once home to a generation of gentleman farmers. Nowadays it’s the farmers’ wares that can be found inside, featured in outstanding contemporary French dishes. The Box Tree perfectly combines a sense of history and good taste with top-class modern dining. Take in the surroundings (the art and antiques, the style and luxury) while perusing the impressive menu and be prepared for a meal to remember.The seasonal four-course à la carte menu is excellent value. You might begin with truffl ed Norfolk quail breast and confi t leg with a poached egg, sweetcorn and mushroom consommé, or Provençal fi sh soup comprising mullet, monkfi sh and mussels with rouille and Gruyère. Mains such as line-caught wild sea bass with sprouting broccoli, Pink Fir apple potatoes, roasted almonds and sauce Noilly, and fi llet of Yorkshire beef with Jacob’s Ladder, oxtail Dauphine, Jerusalem artichoke and girolles confi rm the chefs’ ability to turn quality ingredients into stunning dishes. Finish with an apricot souffl é with chocolate sauce.For something that extra bit special, opt for the menu gourmand, which offers six delectable courses from just £80 (to be taken by the whole table), or choose the menu du jour (from £50 for a four-course dinner, available Wednesday and Thursday evening, and from £40 for a three-course lunch, available Friday and Saturday) – a stage for produce at its seasonal best. Sunday lunch at The Box Tree shouldn’t be missed and represents fantastic value, priced from £40 for four courses. There’s an extensive wine list with varieties to match any and every dish. The list features a selection of half bottles too. The Box Tree restaurant is perfect for your next special occasion, or simply as a treat. Book a table in the snug, by the fi re or perhaps in the private dining room, and allow the welcoming, professional front-of-house staff to spoil you while the chefs’ impressive creations wow you with every mouthful. For up-to-date menus and prices, please see their website.*Price represents the cost of a four-course dinner and a glass of house wine.

Nestled in the gateway to the Dales overlooking the historic Bolton Abbey estate you’ll fi nd The Devonshire Arms – a superb hotel offering exceptional hospitality and sumptuous food and drink, including one of the best afternoon teas in Yorkshire. At the hotel’s fi ne dining Burlington Restaurant, stylish interiors take inspiration from the surroundings, featuring oil paintings of brooding Yorkshire scenes in ornate gilt frames. From the moment we were ushered into the high-ceilinged cocktail lounge for canapés and aperitifs we knew we were in for a treat.

We sampled the eight-course Taste of the Dales menu developed by head chef Paul Leonard (chef profi le page 85). Each dish showcases an element of local produce – be it picked from the hotel’s walled kitchen gardens, reared on the Bolton Abbey estate or surrounding farms, or caught off the Yorkshire coast – paired with wine from the restaurant’s immense list, which is some 100 pages long.

We started with an amuse-bouche of Whitby crab with turnip and sea herbs, followed by juicy creel-caught langoustines imaginatively served with pork cheek and celeriac, drizzled with chicken stock to complete a surprising combination of fl avours. Paul’s passion for local produce was evident throughout our dining experience, not least in the next course where fl avoursome heritage carrot from the kitchen garden was topped with eel and a sprinkling of spiced seeds and curds. The accompanying crisp Australian Riesling drew out the earthy elements of the dish beautifully. This was followed by freshly caught turbot draped beneath thin curls of black kale and dashed with soft mussels. Next came a hearty loin of rich Yorkshire venison complemented by a bold and luxurious Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The drama still had several acts to come, not least a selection of cheeses, each expertly described by a waiter whose knowledge and patter were an integral part of the dining experience. From the dizzying variety we were offered, we opted for the earthy Dale End from Whitby, the pungent Stichelton blue, creamy Baron Bigod Brie and – very best of all – the slightly sweet and fruity Beenleigh Roquefort. The stewed apples and Yorkshire skyr yoghurt that followed acted as a neat palate-cleanser before our evening concluded with delicate whipped sea buckthorn and strong coffees.

*Price represents the cost of three courses from the à la carte menu.

HgTucked away in the quiet village of Goldsborough you’ll fi nd historic Goldsborough Hall, a splendid venue with extensive grounds, and which was once a royal residence, home to Princess Mary, the Queen’s aunt. Here, tranquil surroundings envelop you in a genteel ambience that transports you away from the hustle and bustle of modern life.

Spectacular chandeliers, traditional furnishings and classic artwork create a sumptuous setting that’s immediately warm and welcoming. The library and drawing room provide relaxing seating areas, while the beautiful orangery overlooking the gardens is ideal for receptions as well as lunchtime dining. Service is impeccable, delivered by friendly, knowledgeable staff who introduce every dish and are on-hand to fulfi l additional requests. Chef Adam is happy to accommodate individual dietary requirements, ensuring a wonderful experience for all.

We sipped pre-dinner drinks in the wood-panelled library, where a crackling fi re proved a cheering sight on a cold winter evening. Exquisite canapés started proceedings, which put us in the mood for the treats to follow. We nibbled warm bread, particularly enjoying the apricot and pecan variety. Our starters of wild mushroom risotto with Arlington egg yolk and kadaif nest, and Whitby crab with apple, celery and pecan were delicious. Flavour and texture tantalised as we munched in appreciative silence; the sharp lime, crunchy apple crisp and velvety smooth rice all delighted. My main course of spicy monkfi sh tail, onion bhaji and mussel mulligatawny was a revelation, while my partner’s choice of charcoal-cooked loin of venison, pumpkin loaf and game tea was mouth-wateringly good. We deliberated the dessert choices while savouring glasses of smooth merlot. My dessert of burnt cream, spiced plum and doughnut, and my partner’s almond cream, confi t pear, pastry shards and pear sorbet looked almost too good to eat; sighs of contentment escaped as we fi nished every last morsel. Coffee and petits fours completed a truly memorable feast.

Goldsborough Hall is the ideal venue for celebrations, including weddings. Open to non-residents for lunch, afternoon tea and evening dining, the elegant yet homely surroundings, attention to detail and high standard of personal service make any visit a special occasion.

*Price range represents the cost of two to three courses from the à la carte menu.

YoRecently awarded three AA rosettes, Hudsons at The Grand Hotel & Spa is Craig Atchinson’s exquisite fi ne dining restaurant that demonstrates culinary excellence in each and every dish. Great care and attention to detail go into the plates, but they’re designed to use very few ingredients to the effect of refreshing simplicity. The aim at Hudsons is to refl ect the Yorkshire countryside in an ever-changing set menu that combines Craig’s contemporary fl air with produce from vegetable plots, orchards, and local farms.Friendly, unobtrusive staff will present you with a nine-course tasting menu, which can be enhanced with a wine fl ight to complement each dish. The knowledgeable team is always on-hand to make your experience as special as can be, but the most memorable element of this outstanding dining experience has to be the food. Expect the likes of squid ink wafer, smoked cod roe, apple and dill to cleanse the palate, followed by perfectly conceived plates such as hand-dived scallops with radish,

ham fat, watercress and whey, and Leven Farm duck with beetroot, chicory and hedgerow berries. Each dish is as fl avoursome as the last, and the order of presentation paints a delicious picture of Yorkshire’s culinary landscape while showcasing all the fi nesse associated with modern gastronomy.

HgThe three-AA-rosette-awarded Horto Restaurant at Rudding Park is renowned for contemporary fi ne dining. Horto makes the most of seasonal ingredients from Rudding Park Kitchen Garden, resulting in menus that are led by nature, the skill of the gardener, and the fl air of the chef.Over 100 different herbs, salads, edible fl owers and fruits are grown in the kitchen garden, inspiring chef Murray Wilson to create dishes that are packed full of fl avour, using quality heritage varieties that are usually hard to fi nd. Murray uses lesser-known ingredients and brings out their fl avour through a range of methods, using state-of-the-art appliances to extract and concentrate fl avour. The AA inspector commented that ‘chef Murray Wilson’s creative cooking, driven by garden produce, provides fantastic clarity and depth of fl avour worthy of three rosettes’.Chefs and waiters work together to create a friendly and relaxed ambience. The Horto dining experience offers

an à la carte menu and a tasting menu, which change on a regular basis. The tasting menu costs £64 from Sunday to Thursday and £69 on Friday and Saturday.

HgHome to two of Yorkshire’s foremost gastrodomes, Samuel’s Restaurant and the Terrace Restaurant & Bar, the Swinton Estate is more than just a destination for lovers of the Great British outdoors. Set amid the estate’s 20,000-acre grounds, both restaurants offer fi rst-rate modern British and European cuisine and sommelier-selected wines from around the globe, all to be enjoyed in stylish surrounds with sweeping views over the encompassing Yorkshire countryside.

The three-AA-rosette-awarded Samuel’s Restaurant is Swinton Park Hotel’s fl agship dining establishment, offering an inimitable fi ne dining setting and superbly crafted cuisine. The high, gold leaf-adorned ceiling and the large, ornately carved mantelpiece add to the opulence and splendour of the establishment, setting the tone for an unforgettable culinary experience. Developed by head chef Mehdi Amiri, Samuel’s menus place emphasis fi rmly on seasonal, local produce. Led by the herbs, fruit and vegetables grown in the hotel’s four-acre kitchen garden and the fantastic fi sh and game hunted on the estate, the offering – be it the signature tasting menu, classic dinner menu, or one of the weekend lunch menus – never fails to hit the mark. Think delightful morsels such as estate partridge paired with garden beets, brambles and red cabbage, followed by Swinton Estate trout accompanied by tomatoes, ponzu dressing and tarragon mayonnaise.

Unperturbed and effortlessly relaxed, the AA-rosette-awarded Terrace Restaurant & Bar at Swinton Country Club & Spa offers a casual, hassle-free alternative to the grandeur of Samuel’s Restaurant. Food is served throughout the day, ending in the evening when small plates take centre stage. The dishes feature plenty of the estate’s own produce, taking inspiration from all over the globe and presenting fl avour combinations that consistently enchant. From the range of small plates you might opt for teriyaki-glazed carrot with apple and chervil, mushroom and smoked garlic arancini with tarragon mayo, or Kentucky-fried pheasant with octo vinaigrette and spring onion mayo. Light, airy and contemporary Scandi furnishings and a neutral palette encourage relaxation, allowing visitors to soak up the atmosphere as superb food and wine are served.

RdMalton has been hailed as Yorkshire’s food capital and the Talbot Hotel certainly lives up to expectations. The impressive hotel is a focal point of the town and has been welcoming guests since its opening nearly 300 years ago. Today visitors can dine at either the two-AA-rosette-awarded fi ne dining Wentworth Restaurant or the new and more informal Malton Brasserie. Although they boast very different dining atmospheres, the two eateries have one thing in common: consistency in delivering simple, well-executed food. Ingredients are sourced locally so food miles are minimal, herbs and vegetables are grown in the kitchen garden, and bread comes from Talbot Yard found opposite the hotel, where a plethora of artisan goods can be purchased. Find the brasserie in the atrium, where light dapples the colourful dining area that’s bedecked with Malton memorabilia and apple crates, while the more refi ned Wentworth restaurant is traditionally decorated. The winning service is professional yet understated, making every guest feel welcome.The Malton Cookery School,

attached to the side of the hotel, is the team’s latest venture and is proving extremely popular with families and groups of friends. With its central location, Yorkshire charm and quality food and drink, there’s every reason to visit the Talbot Hotel. In fact, you might even wish to book a room and stay the night.

DoUpon entering The Earl of Doncaster hotel, you’d be forgiven for thinking you’d been transported back to the roaring ‘20s. The beautifully decorated Café Bar Concerto restaurant provides the perfect backdrop to a memorable meal, and is situated just 550 yards from the town centre and racecourse. Visit for lunch, afternoon tea or dinner and make the most of the fantastic cocktail bar and extensive modern British menus. The chef clearly knows his craft, as the wagyu burger I chose was perfectly cooked and well-matched with sweet potato fries. My dining partner chose the fl avoursome sirloin steak, served medium rare. The three-tier afternoon tea stand is brimming with freshly made treats for a traditionally quaint experience. Specialities include Sunday lunch and a grill night every Friday. You can also stay overnight in one of 73 uniquely designed rooms. With Art Deco styling and elegance in abundance, the hotel is the perfect place for a wedding reception, anniversary or a romantic weekend away.

CvThe Coniston has that rare mix of exquisite food, stunning location and family values. The Bannister family has owned the estate for 51 years and has gradually converted the original farm shop into a 71-bedroom, four-star hotel. Macleod’s, the hotel’s fl agship restaurant, is a light and airy dining space at the heart of the hotel. It recently won the prestigious Hotel Restaurant of the Year accolade at the Yorkshire Evening Post Oliver Awards 2017. There are plenty of options on the seasonal à la carte menu, which focuses on local produce and game sourced from the estate. The Huntsman’s Lodge offers a more relaxed, informal dining experience with a roaring fi re centrepiece, and serves brunch, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner. With a stunning fl oor-to-ceiling glass window, the restaurant boasts stunning panoramic views over the 24-acre lake and surrounding rolling Dales.

Head chef Tom and restaurant manager Alistair have always had a clear goal when it comes to Rafters: to provide the ultimate fi ne dining experience. Their vision for the restaurant continually grows, although outstanding seasonal dishes are always the centre of attention. What started as a seasonal menu has now developed into two unique tasting experiences, which take diners on a truly exquisite gastronomic journey and capture a sense of nostalgia. Vegetarian and vegan experiences are available so nobody has to miss out. The stories behind Tom’s dishes can be found on the website and add a truly personal touch to each creation. The staff’s love for what they do shines through in everything, from the beautiful presentation of the food and excellent service to the fi ne selection of drinks that are chosen to complement the cuisine.

HgYou can’t miss – and certainly shouldn’t miss – this exceptional restaurant situated at the edge of Harrogate. Restaurant 92 is located on the ring road just opposite Waitrose, and you’re sure to spot its elegant Victorian frontage if you’re on your way in or out of town. Led by talented chef Michael Carr, the team at Restaurant 92 have worked hard to establish it as one of the most exciting dining experiences in Yorkshire. Featured in The Michelin Guide and The Good Food Guide, Restaurant 92 has grown a lot in the past year and is fast gaining the recognition it deserves. Showcasing the best of seasonal Yorkshire produce, Michael creates the likes of local red-legged partridge served with grains, beetroot and horseradish to echo the bird’s habitat and the food it eats. His stand-out main dish is beef Wellington for two people to share, made with 45-day-aged beef fillet from near Thirsk, just ten miles from the restaurant. It is presented on a chopping board and carved at the table, served with garlic kale, pomme purée, watercress salad and pickled red onions. Michael’s creative

flair also shines through in the desserts, and he delights in crafting playful dishes such as 92 Billionaire: a unique take on Millionaire’s Shortbread with Irish coffee ice cream. An extensive selection of wine from around the world is available to accompany all courses, and the adjacent Bacchus Wine Bar serves a delicious range of cocktails and gins. Restaurant 92 is proving a huge success with locals and visitors alike, and it’s no wonder.

We settled down for dinner next to the scented log fi re in this cosy 18th-century country inn in Kirkburton, which is just four miles outside of Huddersfi eld. Deciding what to choose from the extensive menu was tricky, but the friendly and well-informed staff were more than happy to offer their recommendations. Sticking to their Yorkshire roots, The Woodman Inn uses fresh ingredients that are all locally sourced, including the incredible salt-aged beef from Ripon-based R&J Butchers.

‘...a destination to put at the top of your list...’Cask ales from award-winning local brewery Small World Beers are well worth a try. The wine list is enticing and diverse, with some unexpected choices from the connoisseur list. I tried a beautiful Italian Barolo, which was simply divine.

Dining from the à la carte menu, I chose the beautifully presented beetroot and goat’s cheese salad with pickled and candied golden and red beetroot, goat’s cheese and an orange dressing. This was followed by the chef’s daily special of the intriguing lamb and mutton pie with braised red cabbage. For dessert, I simply had to plump for the sticky toffee pudding with warm toffee sauce and vanilla ice cream, and I’m glad that I did. My partner chose The Woodman’s pork, ham hock and black pudding terrine, served with fi g and pear chutney and toasted sourdough to start. The Waterford Farm salt-aged rib-eye steak was cooked perfectly and was served with triple-cooked chips, vine tomatoes and caramelised shallots. The quality of the meat was evident in its rich fl avour. All of the dishes were tasty and immaculately presented, and we were pleased we didn’t skip dessert, despite the generous portions. The white chocolate parfait coated in raspberry crisps and fresh seasonal fruit was surprisingly light – the perfect way to conclude a truly delightful meal.

With a total of 19 luxurious guest rooms and cottages now available, The Woodman Inn upholds the traditions of a country inn while fulfi lling all of your modern creature comforts, making it a destination to put at the top of your list.

ScThe warmest welcome awaits you at The Plough, where a stylish yet homely interior invites you to explore further. There’s intimate, cosy seating to curl up in and plenty of eye-catching pictures, clocks and mirrors adorning the walls, adding character. You’ll probably fi nd you want to stick around as long as possible, so why not book a night in one of the bedrooms? Thoughtful touches and quality furnishings make for a sumptuous night’s stay.

If dining is at the top of your list of priorities, you’ll enjoy exploring the menu; with tapas and sharing platters, there’s something for everyone.

To start, we chose from the range of tapas and enjoyed beetroot-cured salmon, bubble and squeak croquettes, and pork, apple and sage sausage rolls. For the main course, the artichoke and truffl e ravioli with grilled leeks, sage pesto, toasted pine nut butter and shaved Parmesan was a fl avourful delight. My companion opted for the grilled Barnsley chop, which came with a little shepherd’s pie, sticky cabbage and mint. The lamb was succulent and delicious;

the perfect gluten-free option. Desserts were chosen from a tempting range. I indulged in a warm apple frangipane tart with salted caramel sauce and clotted cream ice cream, and my companion’s lemon and rosemary posset with blackberries and honeycomb was a delight.

We visited The Copper Horse for Sunday lunch and were seated in the cosy, sumptuous dining area. Copper fi xtures, rich colours, candlelight and showbiz memorabilia create stylish surroundings that are suited to a wide variety of dining occasions.

The friendly, professional staff brought us a miniature loaf of warm bread served with whipped garlic butter to begin, followed by our starters of chicken liver parfait with pear chutney and the baked Camembert served with warm garlic and rosemary focaccia. My main of slow-braised lamb shank with minted mash, vegetables and root vegetable gravy was delicious, and my partner’s sublimely tender topside of roast beef with a Yorkshire pudding and all the trimmings was just as accomplished and hearty. We spotted an early evening midweek offer of two courses priced from just £15, which I’ll defi nitely try on our next visit.

We were certainly well satiated after the fi rst two courses, but couldn’t resist sharing a dessert from the mouth-watering list. We chose the fantastic lemon and raspberry Baked Alaska from a range of classics that also boasted sticky toffee pudding, crème brûlée, fruit crumble and chocolate brownie – you mustn’t leave without sampling something sweet.

A sample offering might see diners start with the likes of soy-marinated cod cheek with fennel, Granny Smith and spring onion dressing, or Yellison whipped goat’s cheese accompanied by quince terrine and homemade oatcake. The selection of classic British mains sees diners tuck into grilled sea bass served alongside king scallop, sweet potato fries, green beans and citrus butter, and 8oz marinated Barnsley lamb chop with bubble and squeak and Cumberland sauce.

Sundays at The Clevedon spell a roast lunch that consistently pleases weekend visitors.

Surrounded by the gentle rolling hills of North Yorkshire, gothic Bolton Abbey rises dramatically from a sharp kink in the River Wharfe. Overlooking the Duke of Devonshire’s Bolton Abbey estate, with panoramic views over the Dales, is the impressive Devonshire Arms Hotel & Spa. This two-storey Yorkshire inn is surrounded by lush gardens and parkland, and has been extended over the years to incorporate a long, bright conservatory and line of guest bedrooms overlooking an Italianate-style courtyard garden sculpted from box hedging.

Inside this iconic country hideaway is the AA-rosette-awarded Devonshire Brasserie & Bar. The interior complements the stunning setting, featuring splashes of rich colour, soft vibrant furnishings and contemporary artwork. The convivial and informal ambience makes this a popular place for friends, couples and families to gather. When the sun is shining guests congregate on the terrace, and patio heaters are switched on as the evening arrives and the sky gradually turns a shade of dusky pink.

Head chef Sean Pleasants heads up a lively brigade of talented chefs who know exactly what they want to achieve; each dish is carefully seasoned and well thought out. Dishes are created with local produce sourced either from the estate itself or from neighbouring farms and producers. Start with the trio of Wharfedale pig comprising glazed pork belly, black pudding sausage roll and a homemade Scotch egg, or perhaps the smoked salmon and spring onion fi shcake with poached egg and Hollandaise. For a truly exceptional meal, try the speciality grass-fed Nidderdale beef that’s been slowly aged in cellars lined with Himalayan salt. Steak nights on Wednesday and Saturday evenings present a mouth-watering array of cuts, and Sunday lunch is always a popular option. To accompany the food there’s an impressive list of wine available by the glass, which certainly adds to the pleasure of dining here.

With the majestic Yorkshire Dales right on its doorstep, The Devonshire Brasserie & Bar is a magical place to stop by and enjoy all that this wonderful part of the world has to offer.

HBSurrounded by four acres of glorious gardens, meadows and woodland, this family-owned Georgian hotel is a very special place to be. You’ll want to savour everything as soon as you step through the door: Georgian fireplaces, cornices and coving, barley-twist stairs and antique furniture form timeless appeal. The gastronomic offerings are just as charming. The elegant, award-winning Hide restaurant offers stylish dining, whilst their new relaxed dining menu offers an informal experience and is served in the refurbished Library, along with their fabulous afternoon tea. David Nowell is a huge supporter of local produce and works with everyone from fishermen and farmers, to smokers and pumpkin growers. The talented chefs at Hide work closely with a wealth of Yorkshire artisan producers to bring you simply wonderful, well-crafted food: Yorkshire beef is often reared on the lush Wolds pastures, the fish is freshly caught from nearby beaches, the milk and cream comes from the local dairy and herbs and fruit are picked from the hotel’s

own gardens – the list goes on. Oh, and then there’s the famous flapjack, delicious handmade truffles and much more. This venue is the perfect backdrop for anything from afternoon tea under the cherry blossom and casual gatherings with friends by the fire in the library, to weddings and private dining. There are 21 individually decorated bedrooms, each with its own story to tell, available for revellers who can’t resist what Tickton Grange has to offer.

HmSituated in a cobbled square in the market town of Easingwold, this former 18th-century coaching inn is now a family-run hotel, restaurant and bar. Having retained its cosy atmosphere thanks to fl ickering fi res, oak beams and horse brasses, it’s easy to imagine groups gathering here over the years.

Peckish guests can dine in the relaxing Market Place Restaurant or the more informal oak-beamed courtyard. A traditional atmosphere can be found in the bar, where a log fi re keeps things warm in winter and Cask Marque-accredited tipples await behind the bar.

With fresh, local ingredients sourced and delivered from Yorkshire’s growers and suppliers to the restaurant’s doors, the chef follows the seasons to create a British menu of classic comforts and new favourites. Take, for example, delicious starters such as the braised oxtail ravioli with mushroom purée, sautéed mushrooms, crispy shallots and braising liquor, and Lishman’s

of Ilkley black pudding with a crispy egg and Woodall’s ham. Main dishes may include salt-aged lamb rump, and game casserole accompanied by thyme dumplings. With food this good, it’s no wonder the restaurant received an AA Dinner Award.

Special events and parties are something the team takes pride in; they’re happy to help you with the planning to ensure your event is memorable for all the right reasons.

There’s little evidence of the prison it once used to be – now you’ll fi nd vaulted ceilings, beams and exposed stonework.

CvSince opening in 2012, word has spread about how good The Brasserie in The Courtyard is. Discover it within the stone-walled Courtyard complex – a large barn conversion where several independent businesses selling everything from cheese to furniture can be found. Head inside The Brasserie and you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the contemporary, rustic interior that blends well with original barn features. An open kitchen means everyone can see the bustling chefs busy at work.

Owner and head chef Richard Wright has created a winning formula consisting of great customer service and a menu focusing on seasonality and local produce. Always looking for produce as close to home as possible, the team at The Brasserie promotes a ‘grow your own lunch’ scheme where members of the community bring in vegetables they’ve grown for the chef to use in return for dining vouchers. Food miles are kept to an absolute minimum. What’s more, they cure their own salt meat, smoke their own salmon and bake bread and cakes on-site each day.

The freshness and locality of the dishes are evident; the ever-changing menu is brimming with colourful British dishes, and the daily specials are determined and adapted depending on what produce is readily available. Start the day as you mean to go on with eggs Benedict or the full Courtyard breakfast. Sandwiches are available throughout the day and include honey-roast ham and piccalilli, and the tempting hot Yorkshire rarebit with sweet red onion chutney. You can add a portion of hand-cut chips for a more filling option.

From the main menu, perhaps start with smoked salmon roulade with baby leaf salad and croutons. Mains of roasted cured Scottish salmon with spicy Yorkshire chorizo paella and crevettes, and Cumbrian beef, Wye Valley mushrooms, rosemary and red wine suet pudding with mashed potato demonstrate Richard’s ability to whip up people-pleasing dishes. If you fancy something sweet, have a spot of afternoon tea or choose from the glorious homemade cakes and treats atop the counter.

If you can’t make it in the daytime, The Brasserie is now open three nights a week for dinner, proving just how popular this haunt has become. Next time you fancy a bite to eat, make a beeline for The Brasserie in The Courtyard – you won’t be disappointed.

BfAs the name suggest, this venue enjoys a beautiful waterside location next to the canal and has relaxing views across the water. Consistent food and excellent service is high on the agenda here, as the dedicated staff here aim to make guests’ visits memorable for all the right reasons.

Innovative, high-quality dishes arrive from the kitchen, where head chef and co-owner Paul (chef profi le page 86) brings his experience of working in Michelin-starred kitchens to Shipley. It therefore comes as no surprise that the menus keep up with the seasons and feature tip-top produce. Keen to cater for everyone, the chef provides vegan and vegetarian options too. See his talent demonstrated in starters such as whipped Yorkshire goat’s curd, beetroot purée and walnut dressing, and the comforting Yorkshire Brie and chive hash brown with homemade baked beans. The high standard continues in the main

dishes – take the roasted halibut accompanied by celeriac purée, sautéed potatoes, crab lollipop and fi sh velouté, or choose the renowned Yorkshire 34-day-aged steak. A delicious dark chocolate and raspberry tart paired with raspberry sorbet provides a spectacular fi nish to a meal, as does the cheeseboard.

Wise woman, soothsayer and witch are all descriptions ascribed to Mother Shipton, whose mysterious rhyming couplets predicted the Great Fire of London, motor transport and television; now Knaresborough thrives thanks to the tourists drawn to the cave where she was born. A footpath to the cave begins beside the Mother Shipton Inn, a riverside pub that has recently reopened following a £200,000 refurbishment. The inn is known for its commitment to serving great pub food and quality cask ale, so draws in crowds of locals and tourists.

To start, I plumped for the scallops in sweet green pea sauce served with juicy black pudding and topped with crispy Parma ham. The dish was presented beautifully and was, of course, delicious. My partner sang the praises of the creamy duck liver and orange parfait, and wouldn’t share a bite. To follow, she opted for the sirloin steak while I

chose the pie of the day. The pie was a castle-shaped delight; crisp pastry packed with chunks of steak and kidney in a rich ale gravy. The accompanying vegetables were fresh and brought a burst of colour to the table. We couldn’t resist rounding things off with dessert, and the sticky toffee pudding and chocolate mousse were divine.

With quality food, a stunning location and top-notch service, Mother Shipton Inn ticks every box. I predict its future will be a great success.

My companion chose a modern take on the prawn cocktail, which featured Scottish smoked salmon and tempura king prawns, followed by the herb-crusted cannon of Escrick lamb.

CdFor over 20 years La Cachette has attracted diners from across Yorkshire. The reason? Head chef Glenn Futter’s (chef profi le page 87) uncompromising passion for French cuisine married with the best local produce from the region often described as God’s own country. The quality of Glenn’s recipes and cooking really shines through at La Cachette – an unsurprising fact when you consider that he previously worked at Nico Ladenis’ three-Michelin-starred French restaurant, Chez Nico, and has an attraction to all things French. A meal here might begin with a classic like the French onion tart – all the flavours of onion soup encased in a crisp pastry tartlet, served with a piquant herb salad. Continue with the likes of duck à l’orange, a French classic updated with a cottage pie of confit leg meat, infused with rosemary and finished with duck wafers. Glenn’s unique cooking style is also ingeniously encapsulated in the homemade

macaroons – a superlative end to a meal. You can choose from flavours such as liquorice, passion fruit, lemon, chocolate and pistachio, and all of the sweets, bread and ice cream are made in-house. It’s easy to relax when such fine food is available, but as La Cachette is lit so warmly and decorated in a smart but informal French-bistro style, a visit here really feels like a short trip to Paris.

As you pull up, twinkling lights in the window are a welcoming sight for the families, couples and solo diners who frequent this popular restaurant. Within seconds of sitting down, my dining companion and I felt as though we had been transported to Italy. The menu is comprehensive, with an ever-changing selection of specials to boot. To start, my friend chose the delicious antipasto, while I couldn’t resist the amazing homemade meatballs. We followed with tender pan-fried chicken breast with asparagus tips, tiger prawns and lobster sauce, and superb spinach and ricotta ravioli served in a creamy mushroom sauce. For dessert, we were compelled to try some of the stunning options available, and so I sampled the indulgent salted caramel cheesecake while my companion rounded off proceedings with rich affogato.

ShAs one of Sheffield’s longest-established tapas restaurants, Cubana has been a firm favourite with locals for many years, but a recent move to stylish Leopold Square has put it centre stage in one of the city’s dining hotspots. With its Latin vibes and award-winning food, it has all the ingredients for a great night out.

On the ground floor is the spacious lounge bar with plenty of comfortable sofas and chairs, which create a relaxing space to unwind in and enjoy a tipple or two with friends. There’s the option to plunge into the world of exotic cocktails and whet your appetite with a Brazilian Mojito, Cuban Mule or another from the fabulous selection – all especially tempting during happy hour, which lasts until 6pm from Sunday to Friday. The upstairs area offers a real Havana haven thanks to Latin murals, artefacts and rustic fans, while a dedicated tapas menu sets out more than 40 mouth-watering meat, fish and vegetarian options.

‘...Latin vibes and award-winning food...’We were peckish when we arrived and so took advice from our friendly waiter and chose a combination of seven tapas to share. Decisions can be somewhat tricky with so many tempting dishes on offer, but set menus come to the rescue and feature enough dishes to provide a banquet for two or more diners.

Cubana is renowned for its regular rotation of live musicians, who fill the place with Latin rhythms. As we tucked into our food, the restaurant came alive to the mellow sound of a jazz quartet that transported us to Cuba on a wave of foot-tapping tempos.

All of our dishes were delicious, but our favourites included tiger prawns in garlic and olive oil, tender pieces of chicken and chorizo in a creamy sauce, Cubana’s famous meatballs served in a tomato and red wine sauce, and beautiful grilled asparagus with Manchego cheese and spinach. The fabulous music means that visitors like to linger, so whether you indulge in a Mojito sundae or one of over 200 speciality rums from their unrivalled rum menu (voted the best rum menu in the UK at the Golden Rum Barrel awards) after your meal, you’ll fi nd yourself simply sitting back and soaking up the atmosphere.

American writer Ernest Hemingway documented his time spent in Havana, Cuba, which he considered to be his second home. He fell in love with everything the city had to offer, from its music and art to cool cafés and delicious food. Hemingway’s passion for Cuban culture is the inspiration for Hemingways Bar & Kitchen in Horsforth. The team brings a taste of Cuba to Yorkshire with street food, sharing platters, salads and barbacoa (slow-cooked meat) dominating the sunny menu. The food offering very much refl ects the easy, laid-back vibe of this friendly venue, and the fresh, fl avoursome food is all made in-house. Think a juicy Cuban burger, grilled marinated rib-eye steak served with slow-roast tomatoes, salsa verde and salad, and jerk roast chicken served half or whole. Sharing platters encourage socialising and include the likes of avocado aioli, mojo slaw and crock pot pork tacos. The style carries on through to desserts, which include treats such as Piña Colada: rum, pineapple and coconut served inside a pineapple,

and Ernie’s affogato, which comprises ice cream atop homemade cake with espresso and a shot of rum to pour over.

On weekends, relax in style with a Cuban breakfast, Sunday lunch, coffee or fruity cocktail. DJs add to the already vibrant atmosphere every Friday and Saturday from 8pm, entertaining guests with feel-good music.

RdThe Black Swan in Pickering is a privately owned 17th-century coaching inn situated at the top of the Market Place. With nine tidy letting rooms, a restaurant and bar in the main building, the popular Whistler’s Cocktail Bar housed in the old stables and Breworks Brewery in the old wash house, The Black Swan has something for everyone.

‘...relax, socialise, eat and drink...’The owners are in the process of renovating the building, which had fallen into a state of disrepair prior to their ownership, so the venue is constantly evolving and changing. Art Deco is a common theme and the stylish new gents’ toilets have become a talking point for all the right reasons since being refurbished. The next planned renovation is the bar area, which will become a more comfortable place to relax, socialise, eat and drink.

The menu evokes a Mediterranean feel, drawing on the owners’ time spent in Turkey, but there are some old favourites for the more traditional palate. Ingredients are sourced locally wherever possible and the majority of the dishes are homemade. Any beer that isn’t sourced from the on-site brewery comes from within a 35-mile radius, with the exception of just one well-known lager and one popular cider.

Open: Mon-Thurs 11.30am-11pm; Fri & Sat 11.30am-11.30pm; Sun 11.30am-10.30pm

BfIf you’re looking for a stylishly decorated place in which to dine on stunning Mediterranean fare, look no further than Quinta. A brief stroll from Ilkley train station and the shopping hub of the town, Quinta is an ideal spot for a pre- or post-shopping lunch with friends or for a wonderful evening out with the whole family. The neutral interior affords Quinta a sophisticated feel, as do the options that grace its enticing menu.

Begin your meal with the likes of game terrine served with homemade French bread and apple and pear chutney. The pan-fried scallops with chestnut velouté, apple, pancetta and watercress are always popular with seafood-lovers. Mains are equally accomplished and diffi cult to choose from. Roasted cod loin, beef Wellington and buttered basil linguine are just a handful of the sumptuous dishes; however the squid ink pasta with mussels, calamari crackling and mozzarella purée makes for a stand-out meal. The unashamedly decadent selection of desserts provides an indulgent end to a wonderful meal.

With a great-value two-course children’s menu priced at just £6.95, superb service and a well-stocked bar, Quinta makes for the best evening out in Ilkley.

Boasting a great vibe and a menu of amazing food, Lucia Wine Bar & Grill brings a touch of the Med to York, Beverley and Harrogate. These special restaurants offer something unique owing to their unusual settings. All Lucia establishments are close to historic attractions, yet are tucked away in tranquil spots with an outside terrace where you can dine al fresco in comfort and warmth – even if it’s raining or snowing – thanks to the patio heaters.

The aim at Lucia is to provide customers with service with a smile and a can-do attitude, creating a laid-back holiday feel. Lucia’s joie de vivre originated from its two like-minded owners sharing a common ambition: to create restaurants that excel in serving quality food combined with an exciting, joyful dining environment. Lucia is all about sharing good food and conversation, just as it’s done on the Continent. The menu is focused on Mediterranean cuisine, so there’s a plentiful selection of tapas dishes to enjoy – the fried mozzarella risotto balls with tomato sauce, deep-fried breaded Brie with plum and apple chutney, and the Cajun chicken and jalapeño skewer with rice and salad leaves come particularly recommended. If you fancy something larger, the chef’s Italian-style chargrilled meatballs are a good shout, but, equally, the fillet of salmon with spinach and honey-roasted butternut squash and red onion, or one of the premium-quality British beef steaks that have been hung for 28 days, are fine choices too.

Once you’ve finished dining, how about trying one of Lucia’s renowned cocktails? There’s a huge selection of classic mixes, along with exotic options, Martinis, iced teas and Champagne cocktails. Many can also be ordered in jugs to continue the convivial sharing that’s popular when enjoying Mediterranean food.

Experience Lucia for yourself, or check out the fantastic customer comments on TripAdvisor first – you’ll understand why Lucia was selected as one of The Journal’s restaurants of the month. Lucia was a finalist at the English Italian Awards 2015 and scooped the Best Italian award at the 2016 Oliver Awards.

LeFireLake Grill House and Cocktail Bar is an enticing, elegant option among Leeds’ eclectic wealth of restaurants. You’ll be drawn to the creativity of the wood-smoked, fl ame-cooked dishes that demonstrate the chef’s skills and confi dence. Take the time to relax with an expertly prepared cocktail or a glass of Champagne in the chic bar area.

Born in the wilds of Minnesota – the land of 10,000 lakes – FireLake’s concept combines the Midwestern tradition of open-flame cooking with the art of cocktail creation. Here, it’s all about utilising the fl avours that fl ames impart. As many dishes as possible are cooked over wood or fl ames, or are wood-smoked using techniques that have been practiced for centuries. Many of the cocktails are barrel-aged, the beers are hand-crafted, and the food – much of which is organic – is sourced from the local neighbourhood. The restaurant’s style and ambience are deeply rooted in North American culture but its essence is closer to home,

with a welcoming community feel. You’ll therefore find local produce, community heritage, and some subtle football references intertwined with FireLake’s unique sense of style. All intentions aside, what FireLake effortlessly achieves is delectable cuisine served in a relaxed ambience, and delivered by a team with a big heart and an even bigger smile.

Everything about The Fairfax Arms shows the effort and care brothers Rob and Ed and their team have put into making this a memorable dining destination. Its rural location lends itself to stunning walking routes and bike rides and is a great place to get away from it all. Whether you’re a returning local, a hiker or biker, The Fairfax Arms has something for every taste and every pocket. Housed in a handsome 17th-century inn built by Sir Thomas Fairfax, it’s a charming affair that has retained an olde-worlde feel. It is believed that Sir Thomas and Oliver Cromwell had a drink in the pub the night before going to battle. The log fi re, candles, wooden beams and swing music gently playing in the background all add to the atmosphere, and the oak bar was even made locally by Rob’s uncle.

‘...memorable dining destination...’Head chef Ben Turner has created an à la carte menu using quality, local produce. Ben’s 60-day-salt-aged salted steaks are sourced from the local butcher and are extremely popular. Other delectable mains include beer-battered fi sh with chunky chips, pie of the day and braised ox cheek. The Fairfax burger turns heads at a whopping six inches tall and stuffed with onion rings, bacon and mature Cheddar. To top off your meal, why not indulge in a sticky toffee pudding? Tipples on offer include guest ales and beer, locally brewed Black Sheep and Tetley beer, and a choice of wine and spirits.

‘...guests feel fully relaxed and well looked after...’Upstairs are 12 luxurious bedrooms, which will ensure a sound night’s sleep. Alternatively, tucked away amid a private woodland in the glorious Yorkshire Moors National Park, you’ll fi nd their sister venue, Studford Luxury Lodges, which opened in 2014. The six lodges each provide king-size beds with handmade mattresses, a TV, an in-built sauna and outdoor hot tub, as well as a welcome hamper to make guests feel fully relaxed and well looked after. For Rob and Ed, seeing people enjoy themselves is what they fi nd most rewarding – as you’ll soon come to realise when you visit.

HmTony and Vicky Jowett bought this famous village inn in 2014 and have worked hard to build a well-deserved reputation for hearty Yorkshire hospitality. An evening of quality food and drink began with a generous portion of deep-fried whitebait with homemade tartare sauce for me, and a bowl of the creamy garlic mushrooms for my partner – pure comfort food. My partner followed with the blue cheeseburger, while I plumped for three heroically proportioned pork, onion and black pepper sausages, served atop a mound of creamy mash with rich onion gravy, with plenty of vegetables on the side. Hand-pulled pints of the Ex-Wife – a well-balanced session ale from the Three Brothers Brewing Co. on Teesside – proved an ideal accompaniment to these. The dessert board was awfully tempting, but we decided to share a cheeseboard and brought our evening to a close in true Yorkshire style.

HgSituated in the heart of Harrogate, just a short walk from the Exhibition Centre, shops and theatre, the family-run William & Victoria is a real fi nd. Walking into the wine bar downstairs is like stepping back in time – subdued lighting, intimate booths and old oak beams create a great fi rst impression.

The bustling atmosphere of the wine bar and the elegant charm of the restaurant have ensured that William & Victoria has become a Harrogate institution, much loved by its loyal locals and visitors to the beautiful spa town. Owner David Straker has worked front of house for 22 years, so he’s a familiar face to regulars of the longest-standing wine bar in Harrogate. Favourite dishes in the wine bar include the slow-roasted pork with crackling and apple sauce, and lamb Henry with mint and rosemary. A traditional Sunday lunch is also served from noon until 5pm every Sunday.

In spring 2015, the William & Victoria underwent an extensive refurbishment across the two fl oors. The addition of an internal staircase has brought unison to the restaurant and the same classic British menu is now served on both fl oors. The upstairs area boasts a private dining room for up to 30 people for those special occasions or business dinners. The Straker family sees this major investment as a worthwhile step in maintaining their status as the longest-established wine bar in Harrogate.

ScThe charm of this authentic country inn is apparent from the moment you step inside. Beneath ancient oak beams, gleaming copper and brass and traditional furnishings create a welcoming ambience, and on chilly nights the real log fires add cosy warmth.

The menu offers a tempting choice of classic fare including grills, fish and several vegetarian options, while a board advertises homemade specialities. Premium quality, locally sourced ingredients are carefully chosen and prepared. Our starters of prawn cocktail with Marie Rose sauce, and smoked salmon with mixed leaf salad were delicious and fresh. My main dish of salmon with a creamy wine sauce was delicate and succulent, while my companion’s sirloin steak, served with onion rings, tomatoes and mushrooms, was cooked to perfection. Seasonal vegetables, potatoes and chunky chips were mouth-watering accompaniments. Somehow we made room for indulgent profiteroles and a

melt-in-the-mouth plum and almond frangipane tart, both of which were irresistible and provided a delectable finale to a superb meal.

Lunches and evening meals are served daily, and traditional Sunday lunch is not to be missed. There’s also a great selection of wine and ale. It is easy to understand the popularity of this characterful inn, where friendly service and exceptional food make a memorable impression.

LeRachel Jenkinson came to The Bridge 17 years ago to work a single shift as a favour – she loved it so much that she’s still there today. A licensee for nine years, she has put her heart and soul into creating the very model of a community pub, with activities such as darts, pool, football and quizzes keeping the locals as enthusiastic as ever. Live sport showings and live music draw quite a crowd, and a friendly, sociable atmosphere makes this pub well worth a visit.

With great-quality food and drink, the pub attracts customers from further afield too, and was also crowned Pub of the Year by The Yorkshire Evening Post. It’s always worth stopping at the bar to consider the eight carefully chosen real ales. On numerous visits I’ve never had a bad one, and this time Treboom Brewery’s clean and golden Yorkshire Sparkle proved a refreshing accompaniment to my evening of hearty dining. I started with crispy Thai fishcakes, served with a devilishly spicy red chilli dip, while my partner’s prawn cocktail was everything you’d expect of

this classic British favourite. The main courses soon followed: for me a sizeable wedge of deep-filled steak and kidney pie with chips and mushy peas; for my partner a perfectly spiced lamb rogan josh with fresh green chillies. Old-school desserts of steamed syrup sponge and chocolate fudge cake rounded off a night of generous portions and kind hospitality.

BPLocated close to Pocklington’s town centre, The Station Hotel has a warm, inviting ambience that makes it feel like a cosy home from home. While the bar is well stocked with a range of beer, ale and wine, the recently renovated restaurant serves a traditional menu comprising a range of homemade favourites. The Station takes the provenance of ingredients seriously and each dish is made using the finest locally sourced produce. Top-quality meat, for example, is supplied by Pocklington’s own Burton Butchers. The kitchen team will also cater for all dietary needs (all you need to do is let them know in advance), and is proud of their five-star food hygiene rating. Starters range from meaty Brussels pâté with chutney, fresh salad and seeded toast, to warm goat’s cheese ciabatta salad, while the mains selection features British pub food. Hearty homemade steak and ale pie, topped with buttery pastry and served with homemade chips and seasonal vegetables is one of the highlights, while the signature Station mixed grill, served on a sizzler with all of the trimmings, is for the very hungry only. Remember to check out the regularly changing selection

of desserts to satisfy your sweet-tooth. Outside, the lovely large beer garden is a great spot in which to enjoy a refreshing drink in the sunshine. In addition to the bar and restaurant, The Station also boasts a function room, which can be closed off for private events and is free to rent when you order a buffet.

BfIf seasonal cuisine, real ale and cosy, stylish interiors are at the top of your list, look no further than The Fox, located near Ilkley Moors and Wharfedale Valley. It’s the oldest pub in the Menston village and has been serving locals for the past 200 years. The al fresco area has views across the Menston cricket ground and is a real draw in the summer.

The menus have been created to feature only the best produce to ensure diners receive the highest-quality food. From handmade burgers and fresh fi sh dishes to Sunday roasts and traditional dinners, The Fox really does have everything covered. Nobody stays peckish for long here thanks to the likes of chilli-crusted squid with Amarillo chilli mayo, and the lobster and tiger prawn pot to start. Alongside pizzas and salads, main dishes include the breaded buttermilk and rosemary chicken burger, and lobster and Devon crab fi shcakes with asparagus,

pea and truffl e oil velouté topped with crispy seaweed. The melting golden chocolate bomb dessert with caramel ice cream, popping candy and hot Devon cream toffee sauce is dreamy.

Pop in between noon and 6pm Monday to Saturday and sample tasty dishes from the fi xed-price menu, which represents great value for money. Whenever you choose to visit, once you’ve had a taste of The Fox, you won’t want to leave.

LeZaap hit the Leeds street-food scene in May 2015. Since then, its impact has been nothing short of amazing, resulting in the restaurant winning the Best Street Food Award 2016 in the Yorkshire Evening Post’s Oliver Awards, and being named the best restaurant in Leeds in the Lifestyle Awards. Zaap brings a small corner of Bangkok to the Grand Arcade in the heart of Leeds’ bustling city centre. This area of the famous Yorkshire city has undergone a recent renaissance thanks to the arrival of Leeds Arena.

Zaap is like no other restaurant – if you are lucky enough to have visited Thailand, you’d be forgiven for thinking you’d left Leeds and landed in the middle of a Bangkok street-food market. It instantly grabs your attention with its neon lights, authentic hanging signs, real tuk tuks (in which guests can dine) and the wonderful Thai vibe it oozes. The menu is as authentic as you would find on Khaosan or Yaowarat Road in Bangkok, and features around 80 dishes. It showcases popular

Thai starters, soups, salads and dim sum-style dishes, as well as mouth-watering grilled and roasted meats, and spicy curries alongside many more choices. If you’re in Leeds and looking for authentic Thai street food, or are perhaps trying to recreate memories of a trip to Bangkok, a visit to Zaap should be at the top of your list.

Open: Mon-Sun 11am-midnight

HBLocated in the heart of Beverley, Ogino is revered for its fantastic contemporary Japanese cuisine and its distinctive and informal dining experience. Alongside her hard-working team, head chef Reiko creates inspirational dishes with exciting fl avour combinations and respects the Japanese food traditions that the extensive menu is rooted in.

The dishes are complex and beautifully presented, but the service is unpretentious and friendly from start to fi nish. Starters include the stunning seared Scottish salmon ceviche marinated in sweet soy vinaigrette with nori purée, salmon caviar, wasabi guacamole and a red beet tuile. Mains such as pan-fried yellowfi n tuna steak with sesame oil, chilli, honey and garlic, served with Oriental noodles, tenderstem broccoli, shredded leeks and mixed peppers feature alongside sushi rolls and sashimi platters. There truly is something for everyone at Ogino. Kagoshima wagyu beef fi llet steaks

You’ll fi nd 4 Kitchens in the Moors Shopping Centre in the heart of Ilkley, within easy reach of Skipton, Keighley, Harrogate and Bradford. Its location may be within Yorkshire’s beautiful countryside, but its unique offering is fi rmly rooted in the traditions of four prominent Indian states: Rajasthan, Delhi, Goa and Maharashtra. Three-time winner at the National Curry Awards, 4 Kitchens’ head chef Sunil Kumar Sinha masterfully draws upon the distinct fl avours from the four states in order to create an outstanding menu.

Keen to dispel the myth that authentic Indian food is heavy and fattening, Sunil prides himself on serving healthy food that isn’t packed with ghee, cream or oil. According to Sunil, Indian food should be incredibly wholesome, and he’s keen to point out the health benefi ts that many key spices have, noting that they’re great at stimulating the body’s metabolism.

‘...three-time winner at the National Curry Awards...’The menu is divided into sections based on the region that inspired each dish, with an extensive range of meat, seafood and veggie dishes. From Delhi, classics such as butter chicken, chicken jalfrezi and lamb rogan josh are cooked to perfection and packed with fl avour. Rajasthani dishes fi t for royalty are another speciality of Sunil’s, so it’s no wonder he was selected to cook for the Prime Minister of India – an honour that he is really proud of. Fresh and fl avoursome seafood dishes from Goa include the award-winning Konkani prawn curry with coconut, tamarind, mustard and curry leaves. From Maharashtra we would recommend the lamb dhansak – a speciality of the Parsee community in Mumbai.

To echo the diet of many inhabitants of rural India, much of the menu is vegetarian and vegan. Gluten-free dishes are also available and the team is happy to cater for dietary requirements. When it comes to service, 4 Kitchens is second to none, with staff members always putting guests fi rst in order to ensure that everyone is served with a smile. It’s clear that nothing is too much trouble for the team at this charming independent, family-run restaurant.

Shimla Spice won a hat-trick of awards at the 2015 English Curry Awards. The Shipley restaurant took home the Best Restaurant in Yorkshire award, while the new branch in Burnley, Lancashire, won the Best New Restaurant in England accolade. For current owner Faisel Hussain, winning the Curry King of England 2015 award – which recognises those who are the best in the industry – was a proud moment. The restaurant has been scooping up awards since it was first founded by three brothers back in 1998. Basharat, Mo and Mahmood all boasted successful culinary careers on the London dining scene before heading back to their home county, Yorkshire, to open their own restaurant – Shimla Spice in Keighley. The Shipley venue soon opened, following instant success in Keighley. The latest addition to the Shimla family is the stylish new restaurant in Burnley. Shimla Spice has a strong loyal following due to consistently exceptional food, warm, friendly service and a relaxed atmosphere in which diners can enjoy it all. The range of traditionally cooked desi dishes keeps diners coming back for more and all tastes and preferences are catered for. Curries with a kick, mildly spiced dishes and healthy options all feature on the extensive menu, and vegetarian dishes at Shimla are not simply an option, they are a speciality. Only the freshest, finest-quality ingredients are used and the care and skill all the highly trained chefs demonstrate is in evidence in every dish that leaves the kitchen. You might like to start with the Shimla Spice sizzler mix, which is a combination of chicken tikka, chicken boti, seekh kebab, meat chops and fish masala. Then, perhaps follow with the rich meat makhani; the spicy chicken achari or the hearty king prawn Lahori. Add a Peshwari naan, special rice and tarka dahl to the mix and you’ll be sorted for the rest of the evening. With takeaway options, you can also enjoy the superb Indian cuisine from the comfort of your own home. Your first visit here certainly won’t be your last. Shimla’s style is unique and the chefs are constantly working on new dishes to keep up with culinary trends.

Paul started his career in Willerby near his hometown of Hull, before tasting success at Michelin-starred Pétrus in London. A few years on he gained his own Michelin star whilst at the Isle of Eriska. These days Paul heads up the team at the three-AA-rosette-awarded Burlington Restaurant.

‘...constantly evolving dishes to complement the ever-changing seasons...’

Paul’s approach to cooking is produce-led, ensuring that the majority of ingredients are sourced from Yorkshire. Burlington Restaurant’s location on the Duke of Devonshire’s 30,000-acre estate means Paul has access to the fi nest game – his favourite seasonal ingredient – as well as fresh vegetables and herbs from the hotel’s kitchen garden. Paul thrives on the excitement of being a chef, and the challenge of constantly evolving dishes to complement the ever-changing seasons. He enjoys directing a talented team of like-minded people and looks forward to creating new standards of culinary excellence.

A self-confessed foodie from a young age, Richard Smith was fascinated with learning how to cook. He’s taken his dedication and passion for food and turned it into a career. Having started this career peeling potatoes at a venue in Buxton, Thyme Café’s owner has since developed a love of the fi sh section of the kitchen, championing the sleight of hand needed to work with it and the diversity in produce that can be found. Variety is also one of the things about being a chef that Richard enjoys most, with each and every day different from the last. The multitude of fantastic produce available in the surrounding area means that Richard has the best tools to work with.

‘... dedication and passion for food...’Having rubbed shoulders with esteemed company such as Marco Pierre White, Simon Hopkinson and Elizabeth David in the past, it’s no wonder Richard has taken the cuisine at Thyme Café to the highest level.

Paul Huddleston got into the fast-paced industry of cheffi ng through his mum. When the education system didn’t work for him, Paul turned to the kitchen, drawn in by the swearing, fl ames and sense of humour that he found in restaurant kitchens. Having worked in award-winning establishments including Michelin-star-awarded Restaurant Le Jules Verne at the Eiffel Tower in Paris and Marco Pierre White’s restaurant at the Criterion, Paul has earned himself a fantastic reputation for classical French cooking, which is enhanced by modern techniques and stunning presentation.

‘...a fantastic reputation for classical French cooking...’Championing local ingredients, Paul makes use of the produce that’s available on his doorstep and has great relationships with the best Yorkshire suppliers. Having previously been part of a team that achieved three Michelin stars, Paul is excited to see what the future holds for his dedicated team at Waterside.

Passionate chef Chris Harrison has had the privilege of working in some of the best restaurants in the country, including The Fat Duck, The Hand & Flowers and Gidleigh Park, alongside exceptionally well-regarded chefs. Always one to stay ahead of the game, you can expect equally creative food from Chris at The Old House, and at markets and pop-up events in your favourite cities.

‘...always one to stay ahead of the game...’After working his way to the position of head chef in restaurant kitchens, Chris saw the street food revolution as a new, exciting and unavoidable venture, and the restaurant provides the perfect base for Shoot the Bull, his award-winning street food company. Among his infl uences are world-class chefs such as Heston Blumenthal, who taught him to push boundaries with food, but his main motivation comes from seeing his customers enjoying the food he puts so much care and attention into producing.

Watching his Jamaican grandmother sing while she cooked is what inspired young Leslie to become a chef. After training at Castle College in Sheffi eld and gaining practical experience on the job, Leslie can now be found heading up the kitchen at modern British restaurant, Brocco on the Park.

‘...gets a real buzz from being creative and experimenting with fl avours and textures...’

Paying careful attention to locally sourced, seasonal and fresh ingredients, Leslie gets a real buzz from being creative and experimenting with fl avours and textures. As a result, diners can expect dishes that inspire and feature outstanding produce from South Yorkshire and foraged ingredients from the park next door. His hopes for the future include developing the restaurant and continuing to create memorable dining experiences every day. Having already been listed in The Michelin Guide for 2018, we’re sure that Leslie’s goals are very achievable indeed.

Self-taught head chef Thomas Robertson has an impressive repertoire of modern British dishes. He loves to adapt traditional dishes using modern techniques with a touch of multicultural influence. Passionate about the produce Yorkshire has to offer, Thomas ensures that suppliers are rigorously selected to maintain a consistently high standard.

‘...an impressive repertoire of modern British dishes...’The impressive food at The Woolly Sheep Inn means that the inn was previously voted Yorkshire’s favourite pub by the general public in a Welcome to Yorkshire competition. The menus change seasonally and Thomas particularly enjoys working with the ingredients on offer in spring.

Having previously worked in a Michelin-starred restaurant, Thomas is no stranger to the pressure of a full restaurant and really enjoys the buzz of leaving customers satisfied, no matter how busy the service.

As a child, Glenn Futter always loved food. He got into baking at an early age and enjoyed picking fruit with his grandparents and seeing it transformed into jam, pickle and wine.

‘...a quietly innovative and refi ned take on comfort food...’

Since training at Broughton Park in Lancashire and Chez Nico on London’s Park Lane, Glenn has developed a distinct style of cooking that he describes as a quietly innovative and refi ned take on comfort food. In his early 20s, Glenn completed a series of stages with Gordon Ramsay, Richard Neat, Aaron Patterson and John Burton-Race. Today, Glenn works hard to ensure that all of La Cachette’s produce is locally sourced where possible and transforms this into fantastic modern French food.
