UPCOMING EVENTS
Moorland Tasting Menu 17th Nov 2023
Coastal Tasting Menu 1st Dec 2023
New Year’s Eve 2023 December 31st
The Homestead Kitchen is more than just a restaurant for us, it’s a passion, a place for us to really bring alive the things we love and brings us joy. Each ingredient has been carefully thought out and sourced, imagine seeing a map of the North York Moors and surrounding areas, and then seeing all the amazing suppliers, producers and growers popping up, and then all being brought together. Well this is what we have done, from fresh fish landed in Whitby, meat from moorland farms and via our local butcher, breads made with organic flour milled on the moors, organic vegetables grown just a few hours away, and closer to home, vegetables, fruits, flowers and herbs from our very own garden.
Our hope is that the Homestead becomes a space to eat, and drink, and come together. Our menu is ever changing, depending on what is in season, with specials created when our local fisherman arrives at the door with boxes of fresh langoustines, or line caught mackerel, or friends arrive with armfuls of rhubarb.
Over the coming years we hope to create a flourishing and vibrant space, growing our own family, growing on the land, and growing in the community.
Accreditations and Awards
MICHELIN Guide
In February 2022, just 3 months after opening, The Homestead Kitchen was recommended in the MICHELIN Guide 2022.
They said “Ask for a table at the rear of this attractive stone-built former farmhouse so you can look out over the moors. It’s a small place, with a modern country house style, and is proudly run by two experienced chefs. The menu is concise but has plenty of appeal, with refined dishes crafted from local produce.”
We are really pleased to be able to say we have retained our recommendation in the 2023 guide too.
Good Food Guide
Deliciously Yorkshire Awards
We were bowled over to win two awards at the 2022 Deliciously Yorkshire Awards, and are so grateful for the recognition.
Commenting on their decision to give the Homestead the given award for Best Use of Local Produce on a Menu, the judging panel praised Cecily and Peter for their clear connection to the local landscape, their ethos and communication of provenance as well as their dedication to local sourcing which they described as “outstanding”. “From harvesting their own vegetables, to selecting quality local ingredients which are then treated with the utmost care, this respect and simplicity is a winning combination – Yorkshire pride and passion on a plate – Bravo!”
