The team at The New Inn at Appletreewick will be heading to the finals of this year’s Deliciously Yorkshire awards, where they have been shortlisted in two categories. 

Alexa and Chris Ives who took on the New Inn, their local pub, are delighted that their work in refreshing the inn’s offering has impressed the visiting judges for this year’s Best New Business category. In turn, pioneering chef Mikael Paylor has been recognised for the Rising Star award.

For 21 years, the Deliciously Yorkshire organisation has been supporting the Yorkshire food and drink community by championing tradition, encouraging innovation and celebrating great taste. Their annual awards are the biggest of their kind in the north of England and this year attracted a record number of entries from food and drink businesses throughout Yorkshire and the Humber.

The award ceremony, hosted by food and drink broadcaster and champion Nigel Barden, will be held in Harrogate on Tuesday 4^th November.

Alexa said “We are thrilled to have been shortlisted for Best New Business in these awards and that Mike’s talent and innovation in the kitchen has also been identified by the judges. We are all very much looking forward to the award ceremony next month and have all our fingers crossed for that!”
