Our Culinary Approach

Our kitchen is led by award-winning chef and co-owner Bruce Elsworth, who has worked in some of the region’s most esteemed kitchens, including The Angel at Hetton and Northcote Manor. His passion for exceptional food is at the heart of everything we do, whether that’s catering for a corporate lunch or hosting a seasonal supper club. Each menu is crafted for the occasion and celebrates seasonal produce and the best ingredients from our local suppliers.

The team are also deeply passionate about championing the finest Yorkshire ingredients and working closely with local farmers and suppliers. By bringing their stories to the table, we create a true field-to-fork experience where food is about more than just the dish, it’s about the people, the provenance and the whole dining experience.

  • We wanted for our wedding to feel casual and have a laid back atmosphere and great food and that’s exactly what we got at Elsworth at the Mill. The venue is stunning with plenty of beautiful and historic features alongside trendy and modern touches. The only extra decor we added were candles and flowers, which is testament to how gorgeous the space is. There’s a real cosy and homely atmosphere and all of our guests commented on how special it felt. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and we felt really looked after during the planning and on the night itself. The food was all delicious and beautifully presented, we had so many compliments from our guests. Thank you for making our day so memorable and special.

  • As a fully remote worker I often feel quite lonely, and despite living in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales, feel like I need a break from my own four walls. The location is amazing, with views over towards Skipton castle.  The layout and decor is just lovely, vibrant and modern but simple and the facilities are all ideal plus much needed tea & coffee is on hand.  I look forward to my ‘day in the office’  and meeting up with new people.  100% “recommend.
