Goldsborough Hall appoints new head chef
Josh Barnes will also oversee food and catering at the hall's sister property, The Bay Horse Inn in Goldsborough.
Josh Barnes has been appointed executive head chef at Goldsborough Hall, the 17th century stately home near Knaresborough.
Mr Barnes will also oversee food and catering at the hall's sister property, The Bay Horse Inn in Goldsborough.
He was previously head chef at the Galvin La Chapelle restaurant in London, where he retained its Michelin Star and 3AA rosette status. The restaurant also won recognition for its vegetarian and vegan tasting menus.
Mr Barnes, who grew up in Lincolnshire, said he was delighted with his new role, adding:
“It is exactly the type of property I wished to be part of, a beautiful historic stately home surrounded by countryside, with an ethos of sustainably sourced fresh local produce, where the food miles can be counted in feet and inches.
"My style is seasonally driven, using modern techniques and styles with a classic French undertone all served in the majesty of the hall’s historic dining room, where former kings and queens have dined."

"Josh will oversee all culinary activities including lunch and dinner service, in-room dining plus extensive banquet and catering offerings for weddings, private functions and corporate events."
