Where there's Smoke is based on the Silver Street site formerly occupied by Vennell's for 17 years.
Owned by Jon Atashroo and his wife Arlette, it cooks locally sourced produce over coals and embers.
Mr Atashroo began his career training at the Michelin-starred Aubergine restaurant in Chelsea and was head chef at the fine dining restaurant at London's Tate Modern before moving to Masham to buy the couple's first restaurant.
