An award-winning country inn has welcomed four new chefs to the team.
The Dalesman Country Inn in Sedbergh has appointed head chef Simon Taylor, Richard York, Ross Reynolds and Jamie Fletcher.
The 16th century coaching inn is family run. Owner Mike Garnett said: “I’ve never felt more excited and confident about our menu and what we offer our customers. Our chef team have a brilliant range of skillsets and experience, from Michelin-starred restaurants to five-star hotels.”
Having relocated his family from Manchester to the outskirts of Kendal, Simon said the pretty location, friendly locals and outstanding quality of produce helped to seal the deal.
He said: “When I came up, I instantly fell in love with Sedbergh. Mike took me to meet some of his suppliers on the local farms and what struck me most was their depth of knowledge, and the flavour and quality of the produce. It was an opportunity too good to miss.
“We’re so lucky here, to be able to use what’s good when it’s good. On our current menu, diners can enjoy some local game, squash, cauliflower and other seasonal produce to be paired with luxurious sauces and a mouth-watering array of decadent desserts, designed by our pastry chef.”
