Teesdale chef retains place among the elite

TOP NOTCH: James Close

ONE of the region’s leading restaurants continues to be part of the country’s elite – after retaining its prestigious two Michelin stars.

The Raby Hunt, at Summerhouse, near Darlington, remains the only restaurant in the North East to receive two Michelin stars for its culinary expertise for the third year running.

The restaurant, run by self-taught chef James Close is one of only 20 two star restaurants in the country.

The Michelin Guide 2019, which was launched at the beginning of this month, unveiled its annual list of the movers and shakers in the world of cookery, which included the success of The Raby Hunt.

Mr Close said: “It’s amazing news that we’ve managed to retain our stars yet again but it’s very much a team effort.

“The pressure to keep up those standards and the level of expectation never lessens and so it’s a massive thank you to everyone at The Raby Hunt – and that includes our incredibly supportive and loyal customers – who play their part in helping us achieve this success.”

The restaurant is housed in a 200-year-old inn and also has three rooms which offer accommodation to guests.

Mr Close’s innovative 15 course tasting menu prides itself on using seasonal ingredients, presented in a theatrical and visually stunning fashion.
