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

Having been a recommended restaurant in the prestigious Michelin Guide since February 2022, we were overjoyed to be awarded a Green Star in 2025.

The Green Stars are awarded to restaurants at the forefront of the industry when it comes to their sustainable practices. They hold themselves accountable for both their ethical and environmental standards, and work with sustainable producers and suppliers to avoid waste and reduce or even remove plastic and other non-recyclable materials from their supply chain.

These restaurants offer dining experiences that combine culinary excellence with outstanding eco-friendly commitments and are a source of inspiration both for keen foodies and the hospitality industry as a whole

Good Food Guide

Featured in the Good Food Guide within in our first year, we were thrilled to receive an overall rating of ‘Very Good’ for our uniqueness, deliciousness, warmth and strength of recommendation.
 
They commented “Chef Peter Neville and his family have put down local roots here, drawing in meat from moorland farmers, fish from nearby Whitby, and a plethora of produce from their own kitchen gardens. Little craft events and guided walks add to the sense that you have dropped in on friends who have put rather more effort into planning your visit than you are used to.” 
 
In 2023 we were so pleased to win the Best Local Restaurant in the North East, and in 2024 retained our position in the Top 100.

Yorkshire Life Food and Drink Awards 2023

Winner of Restaurant of the Year

This award was extra special as the nomination and trophy came from customers taking time to submit their comments on why they wanted the Homestead Kitchen to be crowned. We are so very grateful for the unwavering support of our fantastic customers.

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!”

The warm welcome and the beautiful decor made me feel like I’d popped round to a friend’s house for dinner. Obviously a friend with exquisite taste and an eye for understated, subtle and perfect detail.”
“I would give Homestead Kitchen 6/5 if I could, absolutely impeccable food and service. I would go as far as to say it was one of the best lunches I’ve ever had. It was my Mum’s birthday and they made it very special.”
