The Pipe and Glass, Beverley – East Riding of Yorkshire

One Michelin Star

The Pipe and Glass Michelin Star restaurant with rooms, nestled in the East Yorkshire town of Beverley, boasts a historic and picturesque atmosphere. The restaurant, which has held its Michelin Star since 2010, reflects the town with its 15th-century building and Yorkshire charm.

James grew up on the North Yorkshire Coast and began his career at the age of 13, making him the perfect candidate to bring the very best out of Yorkshire foraged veg and herbs, local meats and seafood. His menu takes from the much-beloved English classics, such as fish pie and sausage rolls, but reforms them into modern and beautifully prepared dishes to get your mouth watering.

New Michelin Plate Awarded Restaurants in Yorkshire

Alongside the Michelin Star restaurants in Yorkshire, there are many restaurants with Michelin Plate awards, given to restaurants when the inspectors have discovered quality food.

Thomas Carr @ The Coast, Scarborough. Michelin said: “His restaurant occupies two cosy rooms inside Ox Pasture Hall Hotel, with Thomas’ love and understanding of seafood clear to see throughout the well-balanced, classically based dishes. Each individual course on the tasting menu is enjoyable in itself, but the full experience is enhanced when they come together as a whole. The friendly, engaging service perfectly complements this skilful cooking.”

Hearth, Hull. Michelin said: “Run by a trio of friends and located among some fine buildings in the old part of town, this buzzy spot operates over two levels. The ground floor houses a bar and bakery, while the upstairs is home to the rustic two-room restaurant. The menu fuses small plates with larger dishes, often coming from the grill – or ‘hearth’ – that takes centre stage in the open kitchen.”

Pignut, Helmsley. Michelin said: “With just six tables, there is a cosy feel to this little restaurant with clean, unfussy décor. Dishes are fed by produce from the surrounding area, including Helmsley Walled Garden and the Castle Howard estate, while the tasting menu – available in 4 or 8 courses – begins with a ‘wastage’ dish which uses up offcuts from the other courses. The cooking showcases a range of textures and flavours, sometimes with an imaginative touch.”

Bar & Restaurant 88 at Grantley Hall, near Harrogate. Michelin said: “In the immaculately kept grounds of Grantley Hall sits this popular dining spot which features a chic ground floor bar and an exotically styled basement restaurant, with moody lighting, and glass flower hanging from the ceiling. The Asian menu offers plenty of old favourites alongside some more original dishes; must-tries include the char siu of Yorkshire pork belly and the exotic fruit rum baba.”

Michelin Bib Gourmand Awarded Restaurants

West Yorkshire’s popular Prashad and York’s renowned Skosh have retained their sought-after Bib Gourmand award (the accolade below one star) for ‘good quality, good value restaurants’.

Prashad – Michelin said: “This colourfully decorated, family-run restaurant offers interesting, original Indian vegetarian cooking inspired by the owners Gujarati heritage. Dishes are substantial in both size and flavour and spicing is well-judged; the dosas are popular.”

Skosh – Michelin said: “This bright restaurant is located close to the 12C Micklegate Bar; sit at the counter to watch the action. ‘Skosh’ comes from the Japanese word meaning ‘small amount’; a reference to the small plates for which the restaurant is known. Many dishes have Asian influences; choose around 6 or 7 between two.”
