Has anyone else noticed that everyone is talking about the ‘F-word’ right now? There’s great debate over what it actually means, and it’s not only the women bandying it around, men are getting in on the action too. I’ve never used it to describe myself, but I guess I am one… so here goes, I’ll admit to you that I am a feminist. Though I would actually prefer to describe myself as an egalitarian because equality for all is actually what we’re striving for, right? Growing up in the ‘girls can do anything’ generation, it blows my mind that it was once commonplace to think and even proclaim that a woman’s place was in the kitchen. However what renders me even more speechless is the contradictory stereotype that it was only a kitchen in the home, the professional variety was still a man’s world. What the?!

We stayed here for 1 night as a family and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We had dinner in the main restaurant which was wonderful. The dishes were delicious and interesting and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. We ended up staying for both breakfast and lunch the next day as it snowed early in the morning, and we couldn't drive out of the driveway for a few hours because of it. The way in which our plight was handled was very conscientious and we were well looked after. Extremely comfortable beds and rooms too.
The only slight downfall was the fact that they were unable to accommodate our dietary requirements for the tasting menu. We had all hoped to get the tasting menu as a table, but were told that it was "very meaty" and that it could not be adjusted for 2 vegetarians/pescatarians. We have had dinner in other Michelin starred restaurants before where they have done so, no questions asked, so we were a bit taken aback by this as we were looking forward to trying the 8 courses. The food we did have was amazing, it just would have been nice to try more of it!
I remember this amazing place like it was yesterday. I lived here for 6 months. I have the opportunity to learn, meet amazing people, and save great memories. I remember every single area of this place and town. It's on the list of places I'll visit in the near future with my family!. I will recommend it for sure to many of my foreign clients who travel to the UK. The chef, Frances Atkins, Roger and John, the staff, great people, and I will definitely visit the new lakeside café in Harrogate to see them again.
