Skipton based Elsworth Kitchen run by husband and wife team Bruce and Rebecca Elsworth, in Coach Street, is celebrating its first anniversary of trading.

Bruce is an award-winning chef and was previously chef director at the Angel, at Hetton, for 20 years. He has also worked with Nigel Haworth at Northcote Manor.

Bruce and Rebecca have designed the layout so the kitchen area is open enabling guests to see the team at work. Plus, with being new parents themselves, they’ve made a special effort to make children feel welcome too. There is even a mini kitchen to keep the budding mini chefs busy.

Bruce said: “We have been made to feel so welcome in our home town. It really was the right choice to open here. Launching the restaurant has been hard work but, from all the feedback we have received, it’s definitely been worth it.”
