Pipe and Glass Inn voted best pub in UK
The Michelin Pub of the Year 2012.
Where is it, do you think? The Cotswolds? Some cosy corner of Cornwall? Tucked away in the spectacular scenery of the Scottish highlands?
Actually, it’s in East Yorkshire, nestling in the modestly pretty village of South Dalton, near Beverley – The Pipe and Glass Inn.
An absolute gem run by James and Kate Mackenzie – a local pub, with both a Michelin star and that coveted title: what more could you want?
Let’s leave it to Rebecca Burr, editor of the Michelin Eating Out in Pubs guide, which gave the award, to sum up why The Pipe and Glass won: “This award is given to a pub which we feel offers something extra special. Here it is a combination of factors which include the warmth of the welcome, the friendliness of the staff, the character of the place and, of course, the food. The Pipe and Glass Inn is a wonderfully warm pub and nothing is ever too much trouble for the owners.”
