After over £1million spent entirely refurbishing this landmark pub, The Highwayman at Burrow has now re-opened its doors…as a Ribble Valley Inn, nestling in the top corner of Lancashire and only a stone’s throw from the borders with Yorkshire and Cumbria.

Nigel has been raiding the borders of each county, increasing his already impressive list of local farmers to produce a menu of the freshest & finest ingredients.

What’s on the menu, well it’s extensive…Peter Gott’s Potted Wild Boar, Warm Flookborough Shrimps, Yorkshire Pudding with melting Leagram’s Sheeps Milk Cheese, Farmer Sharp’s Herdwick Mutton Pudding, slow cooked Goosnargh Duckling.

Carl Dilks, General Manager and Michael Ward, Head Chef along with their new teams look forward to welcoming you to the new pub.

Every year, Caterer & Hotelkeeper presents an Acorn Award for 30 members of our industry aged under 30, who are considered to be stars of today and leaders of tomorrow, professionals who go beyond the call of duty in their every day roles.

We are so proud that Lisa has been selected for a 2007 Acorn Award, these awards have now been running for twenty one years and interestingly Craig Bancroft was one of the first ever winners of an Acorn Award, some might say, he has now grown into a grand Oak tree!

Lisa has had a busy month, she travelled to London on 2nd April as one of the six finalists of the Roux Scholarship, undoubtedly considered the ultimate British competition for chefs. Having successfully made it through the regional finals, Lisa was invited to the final at the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park for an intensive competition day with five other regional finalists. Lisa was handed a recipe, allowed 30 minutes to understand how you will tackle the dish, followed by a 2 hour cook off against the other finalists.

The dish – Escoffier classic – Tournedos Rachel served with Artichoke and Asparagus – accompanied by Michel Roux’s own version of Bordelaise Sauce and the chef’s own interpretation of a macaroni soufflé.

Unfortunately on this occasion Lisa was not the winner, but again we are proud of her achievement in reaching this final, and on the day she was a true ambassador for Northcote Manor and Young chefs of our region.

Congratulations are in order for Northcote’s Sommelier – Neil Alexander. Last month Neil, successfully passed level 2 of becoming a Master Sommelier.

The Certified Sommelier represents the primary certification for wine and beverage professionals in the hospitality industry. Through the creation of the examination, the court will identify beverage professionals whose knowledge, training, skills and demeanour are eligible of the title “Certified Sommelier”

Neil is now working towards the advanced Sommelier Certificate. He was also placed 3rd in the Champagne Ruinart Best Sommelier regional final.

The ever popular BBQ cookery days are back. Places are limited!

Britain loves to BBQ, but the real secret of success, apart from a glorious sunny day, is to know which foods and marinades lend themselves best to
cooking and eating…al fresco.

Nigel demonstrates succulent dishes, cooked with ease on the amazing Weber BBQ…
a favourite piece of Northcote equipment for many years. He will also introduce you to the marinades and sauces we’ve perfected over the years and which have helped to make our barbecues a great attraction, not just in summer but at any time of the year.

• Starts at 9.30 am with coffee & homemade biscuits
• Craig introduces the taste of sensational summer wines

• There will be the opportunity to buy regional produce from invited guest producers and recommended wines available for purchase

• Enjoy a Pimms aperitif and wine matched specially to your barbecue lunch
