A new family-run restaurant is preparing to open in Skipton town centre.
Drift Skipton is set to take over the former Calico Jack’s restaurant building on Water Street. The team behind the new venture has teased 'carefully cooked food, warm hospitality and a relaxed environment.' Its menu will be rooted in 'classic techniques', combining familiar flavours with influences from further afield - but the exact cuisine has not yet been revealed. A spokesperson for Drift said: “We’ll be sharing the full journey as we bring Drift to life – from the renovation and menu development to the people behind it all. “We can’t wait to welcome you. This is just the beginning.” Further details, including an opening date and the full menu, have yet to be announced.
