Sienna, Prussian blue, burnt umber and cadmium
Fine food and fine art – the two so often go hand-in-hand

Diners at the Pipe and Glass will be able to savour both when, on Thursday 1 May, the pub is the venue for an evening in the company of one of Yorkshire’s favourite artists, Bob Barker. Hosted by the award-winning Artmarket Gallery, Cottingham, the evening will start with a private viewing of Bob’s art, including a specially commissioned painting inspired by the Pipe and Glass.

The original will be on show alongside a small number of limited edition giclée prints signed by both Bob and James. Bob is known for his nostalgic images of his home county, and says: “Nostalgia spurs me to paint by looking back to childhood memories with adult eyes; this allows me to be quite free artistically. In my neck of the woods, with the subjects I paint, most people see soot-blackened stone and polluted skies. “I see colour: wet sienna cobbles and prussian blue shadows with burnt umber and cadmium skies. I view the world, along with my memories, in the subtle blended hues of my paintbox.

“Where I live it is impossible to walk a dozen yards from home without seeing old weavers' cottages, cotton and woollen mills, Yorkshire stone flags or cobbled streets that have been there for decades settling in and maturing, watching the landscape change around them. “Every day I get to see and paint this history and people get to share it with me through my paintings. I eat, breathe and sleep painting – and I love every minute of it.”

Responding to Bob’s lyricism, James has developed a four-course menu for the evening based around the titles of some of his most evocative paintings – a starter of salmon three ways will go under the name of Perfect Match, while the main course, Nice Weather for Ducks, will be roast duck breast with a crispy confit duck pasty, savoy cabbage, and Chips and Gravy.

A pudding of pistachio and cherry bakewell tart with dark chocolate sorbet is the perfect choice for the name We Go Together Like A Wish And A Smile, while a selection of Yorkshire cheeses are the inspiration for The Passion. And James and Bob aim to Spread A Little Happiness by rounding off dinner with coffee and treats.

Throughout the evening there will be talks from Bob and James, live sketching by Bob, and a charity auction. Places cost £60 (drinks not included), and any special dietary requirements can be accommodated – please advise at time of booking.
