The Black Swan at Oldstead

Ten of our Favourite Farm-to-Table Restaurants

"This characterful pub is owned by the Banks family, who have lived and farmed in North Yorkshire for generations: Tommy heads up the kitchen, while brother James is in charge of front of house. Much of the produce for the pub – and for their second restaurant, Roots, situated in York – is grown on 30 acres of their parents’ farm. They also have two acres of growing beds and terraces in the garden adjoining the pub and search out other ingredients by foraging in the hedgerows and woodland in and around Oldstead. The modern menus are very much driven by the seasonal availability of the incredibly fresh produce and the team also like to experiment with different ingredients to find new ways to use and preserve them." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team
