International Restaurants in Braithwaite
1. The Angel
British, Modern restaurant in Hetton
“Consistently now one of the best restaurants in the North of England” – Michael Wignall took over this long-celebrated pub in 2018 after it had spent many years in the doldrums and – as well as giving it a “pared back” Nordic-style refit – has re-established it as one of the stronger performers in our annual diners’ poll (and one of the top-40 most commented-on outside London). “Success has followed him from all his previous restaurants”, and he “has continued to refine his tasting menus and to elevate the whole dine-and-stay experience – a second Michelin star must be close”. At dinner, he offers a five-course tasting menu for £120 per person or a ten-course version for £170 per person. If you order it in advance when you book, there is a cheaper lunchtime ‘Taste of the Season Menu’ for £75 per person. “The food is local and seasonal as you would expect and his deft touch brings out the best of his ingredients”. (“One of the few places where I would pay to stay overnight for a meal… yes, that good!”). Top Menu Tip – “cheese custard with truffles… on my!”
2. Engine Social Dining
International restaurant in Sowerby Bridge
72 Wharf Street - HX6
“Gosh, that was good!!” – Mark Kemp’s “relaxed small plates restaurant in Sowerby Bridge” (a converted boozer) excites nothing but full-on raves from reporters for its “welcoming environment” and “refreshing”, “unfailingly impressive” food at “incredible value prices”. One brave Lancastrian who “put his armour on and risked a trip to Yorkshire to sneak in a Wednesday lunch” only wishes his own county had somewhere like this – an unusual outfit which offers “randomly eclectic, tapas-y food taking in Spain, Yorkshire and Southeast Asia”. “Service is just how you want it” too – “never intrusive but at your elbow when you do”. Top Menu Tip – “Cauliflower and manchego croquetas were merely a foil to an eye-opening Worcestershire sauce caramel; Bahn me prawn toasts are a really superb dish; Moroccan spiced lamb is pulled and comes with pillowy maneesh bread, a rather heavy hummus, dee-licous giant couscous, lightly pickled onions and other stuff. Best posh kebab I’ve had in a long time”.
