Toasting the Tastes of Yorkshire - Elsworth at The Mill are championing local suppliers

Tuesday, 2 July 2024 at 16:34

Bruce and Rebecca Elsworth at Elsworth at The Mill

A Skipton husband and wife duo have combined their experience to create the most unique, versatile, and beautiful events space in Skipton - Elsworth at The Mill.

Bruce and Rebecca Elsworth, who were the previous owners of successful Skipton restaurant ‘Elsworth Kitchen’, saw the vast potential for their new venture in eighteenth century High Corn Mill, bringing a unique, unmatched events space to Skipton, hosting luxury food events and supper clubs, wine and food pairing, live music events, weddings, cooking masterclasses, a co-working office and meeting space, and corporate events.

Bruce and Rebecca, from Skipton and Embsay, have stayed true to their Yorkshire roots, continuously supporting local suppliers with both their food and drink offerings. The duo have harmoniously fused Bruce’s years of experience as an award-winning chef in some of the best kitchens, and Rebecca’s extensive experience within hospitality.

On Friday 5th July, they will be hosting a ‘Tour De Yorkshire’ Dinner Evening with high quality local suppliers’ ingredients, the ‘Yorkshire Native Breed Charcuterie’ commemorates ‘Grid Iron Meat’, a high quality butchers in Skipton’s charcuterie, ‘Shepherd’s Purse’ award-winning Yorkshire Fettle, and a wonderful extra mature cheddar cheese from ‘Wensleydale Creamery’. In total Bruce has chosen 15 local suppliers in his Yorkshire menu.

While Bruce and Rebecca celebrate Yorkshire with regional pride, there are no limits to the diversity of their foodie events, from South East Asia Nights, Tapas Night and Spanish Guitar, and a recent Basque Supper Club.
