A historic drovers inn is set to provide a boost for Yorkshire’s rural economy when it reopens in November.
The Owl at Hawnby, near York, will be run by the Yorkshire-born chef Sam Varley and his team who are committed to sourcing food from local suppliers. Mr Varley, who is chef and co-owner of Bantam, the Michelin-acclaimed restaurant in Helmsley, previously worked at the Fitzrovia Restaurant in the St. Kilda area of Melbourne in Australia and Duck Soup in Soho, London. He said: “I love pubs and I’m concerned about the rate at which they are closing.
Jamie Savile, from Mexborough Estates, commented: “The arrival of Sam, supported by Peter and Joanne, at the Owl is great news. In only a couple of years, Sam has established Bantam as one of the finest restaurants in the area. Bantam is already in the 2023 Michelin Guide and has had glowing reviews in both the national and the regional press. “I am very confident that Sam’s move to the Owl will be a tremendous success, making the most of the inn’s enormous potential.
