Bay Horse at Goldsborough appoints new manager and head chef
The 17th century Bay Horse Inn at Goldsborough has appointed a new manager and head chef and revamped its food offering.
Clare Oglesby and her husband Mark, who own nearby Goldsborough Hall, took on the village pub in November 2019.
The pub, near Knaresborough, was fully refurbished but then had to close due to covid.
Ms Oglesby said:
The inn will continue to provide traditional home-cooked food but Ms Oglesby said visitors would notice a difference in terms of quality and presentation with the new team in charge.
Marius Salaru, who was previously deputy general manager at Goldsborough Hall for three years, has taken over as manager.
Eric Mucha, whose previous experience includes running the kitchens at Goldsborough Hall, has been appointed head chef. Originally from Krakow, Mr Mucha has been a chef in the UK for over 10 years and has cooked to a 3AA rosette level.
Mr Salaru said:
The menu will change seasonally, using ingredients and produce from Goldsborough Hall's kitchen garden.

The Bay Horse Inn, which opens daily, dates back to the early 17th century.
It is named after the original Bay Horse, the Byerley Turk, the eldest of three stallions that make up all thoroughbreds today, which was buried in the grounds of next door Goldsborough Hall, in 1706.
