THE Hovingham Inn has been recognised in the latest Michelin guide.

The Inn, which was taken over by Richard and Lindsey Johns in 2019, was awarded with a Michelin dining plate, an award for excellent food & cooking. It has also been included within the highly regarded Estrella Top UK 100 Gastropubs.

Richard said: "This is somewhat of an achievement considering the short time the pub has been open.

"To be considered one of the best in the UK underlines the huge effort and commitment put into the business."

Richard said: " We are currently seeking to build a loyal, strong team of staff, in order to continue on our success at the Hovingham Inn.

"Hopefully the best is yet to come for us here in Ryedale."
