A restaurant aiming to put an 'elegant' spin on traditional Yorkshire cooking opens in Ryedale net week.

Following the success of their York restaurant Le Cochon Aveugle, Joshua and Victoria Overington will open Mýse - pronounced ‘meez’ - in Hovingham on June 29.

The restaurant is based in the former Malt Shovel/Hovingham Inn - a renovated 19th-century inn - in the village's main street.

It will also have rooms, meaning guests can stay overnight following dinner at the restaurant.

Its overall aim, said Joshua, is to celebrate North Yorkshire food. Mýse, the Anglo-Saxon word for ‘eating at the table’, would draw on the area’s rich history and put the chef's elegant spin on traditional Yorkshire cooking.

Joshua said, “Mýse is an opportunity for us to finally realise our restaurant dream. We loved our time at Le Cochon Aveugle and think back on it fondly, but outgrew the space. This is our chance to create something more ambitious and a reflection on our incredible Yorkshire surroundings. I grew up here and it has been home to Victoria for ten years, so we wanted to create a welcoming, homely spot, each dish a nod to dinners that my Yorkshire grandmother would cook for me, but elevated and refined.”

Similar to Le Cochon Aveugle, Mýse will be offering a tasting menu.

Dishes to expect will include:

* seeded sourdough baked in-house served with cultured butter and chicken drippings

* a light broth of smoked eel and apple

* raw razor clam, forced Yorkshire rhubarb and elderflower vinegar

* ox cheek braised in ale with fried Yorkshire pudding batter and fermented cucumber

* Orkney scallop baked in its shell with sea urchin butter

* blood pancake with grilled langoustine

* smoked pork fat and dog rose

* day boat cod poached in aged-beef fat with 72 hour Senshyu onion broth and lemon verbena.

The wine list will be curated by Keeling Andrew & Co, the importers from the team behind Noble Rot, working closely with Victoria.

Expect to see Josh and Victoria’s favourite Alsatian Rieslings making an appearance too..

The evening tasting menu will cost £110pp, with shorter lunch menus available on Fridays and Saturdays at £80pp. The wine pairing will cost an additional £85pp and a

non-alcoholic pairing will cost £65pp, and at lunchtime, £65pp and £45pp respectively.

Rooms will start at £250 and must be booked alongside dinner for two at Myse. Breakfast will be included.

Myse is now taking reservations.
