Harome Restaurant Guide

Reopened in late 2022 after being gutted by a disastrous fire that swept through its ancient thatch a year earlier, this 14th-century inn is, for many people, “one of my favourite places to eat in the UK” – “the staff ooze Northern charm and make you feel very welcome”, while “patron Andrew Pern and his incredible team, including head chef Steve Smith and restaurant manager Eve Cullen, ensure a wonderful experience every time”. “Love how they offer ‘Michelin’ cuisine but also a locals’ menu which is accessible to a wider audience” – “love it so much, we got married there!”. Top Tip – “the black pudding and foie gras is a best-ever dish”.

“A superb country restaurant with rooms”, “very well run” by Jacquie Pern, whose former husband Andrew runs the neighbouring Star Inn in the same small North Yorkshire village.

Chef Josh Overington and his wife Victoria are to open this new restaurant with rooms in North Yorkshire this summer, less than a year after closing their highly rated Le Cochon Aveugle in York. Mýse (which rhymes with cheese) opened in late June in the 19th-century pub most recently known as The Hovingham Inn.
