ABOUT

James and Kate Mackenzie took over the Pipe and Glass Inn in 2006, rapidly transforming it into the warm and welcoming pub that it is today. It’s a real family affair – James runs the kitchen, Kate runs front of house, and Toby and Molly – well, they just run rings round everyone…

It took less than four years for the Pipe and Glass to be awarded a Michelin Star, an accolade it holds to this day. It’s also won numerous other awards, including The Good Pub Guide’s National Dining Pub of the Year for 2015, and was placed at number four in the national Morning Advertiser/Budweiser Budvar Top 50 Gastropubs Awards for 2013 and 2014, and at number three in 2015.

The former coaching inn stands on the site of the original gatehouse to Dalton Park on the beautiful Dalton Estate, with parts of the current building dating back to the 17th century. After an initial major refurbishment in 2006, James and Kate have updated the premises regularly, including an exclusive private dining suite and a kitchen garden, added as part of an ambitious garden redesign.The Pipe and Glass now offers nine luxury boutique rooms across two sites; The Garden Rooms, at the pub itself and The Old Lambing Yard, just a stones throw away in the village.

The Mackenzies all enjoy working with the local community, regularly fundraising for causes such as the village hall and welcoming visits from local schools. They’re also keen to encourage the next generation: the Golden Apron, a joint initiative with the Yorkshire Wolds Cookery School, is the search for Yorkshire’s best young chef.

James has also introduced the innovative Yorkshire Chef’s Certificatewith Hull College. A ‘gold standard’ for young chefs, James is keen tosee it rolled out across the county in future years.

James regularly gives demonstrations at food festivals and events, and has appeared on James Martin’s Saturday Kitchen, and Kirstie’s Handmade Britain. His first book, On the Menu, won the title of Best First UK Cookbook in the international Gourmand World Cookbook Awards for 2013.

HISTORY OF THE PIPE & GLASS

The Pipe and Glass Inn stands on the site of the original gatehouse to Dalton Park – the magnificent yew tree in the garden is believed to be at least 400 years old. The original gatehouse was eventually replaced by the current building, part of which dates back to the 17th century.
