It’s not often I write about places outside of Cockfield, unless of course, there’s a village connection but, seeing as there’s a distinct lack of eating places here, I thought I’d mention a bit of a gem I’ve found down the road at Ingleton.
Over the years the ‘restaurant’ part of The Black Horse has been occupied by various chefs including ‘Thai’ but has now been taken over by John and Catherine who have revamped the place and are serving food which, I have to say, is top notch. Both have hotel backgrounds and you can tell by the service and presentation that they know their stuff.
Myself and Mrs Blog tried out the place last Wednesday night and although it was quiet the food and service was of the highest order. There are ample starter and main courses to chose from and a ‘specials’ board with dishes starting from about £5.50. I had a starter of prawn cocktail (huge!) followed by the best stroganoff I’ve had in many a year. Mrs Blog had fish cakes (also huge!) served with ‘chunky’ chips and salad. The bill came to £29 which we thought was marvellous value for the quality of the food.
Harlequins is a new venture and as it’s only a five minute drive from Cockfield, I’m sure it will be very popular.
