2 years ago

With Moor Hall in Lancashire coming top of the list this year, and The Angel at Hetton (reviewed recently by our own Anja Madhvani) taking a close second, the north is quite rightly getting the attention it deserves.

Read on for 7 of the best restaurants in the north – good luck getting your reservation.

    Skosh

    Restaurant - European

    Going by name and appearances, you’d be forgiven for mistaking Skosh for a Scandi furniture shop: tables the colour of driftwood bob in a greyscale dining room with an Ikea-yellow wall as the backdrop. In fact, its open kitchen is staffed with chefs preparing British dishes with an adventurous and international flavour. Skosh offers as close to perfect as world-fusion cooking gets in the UK.
