The highest-placed was Joro, the Sheffield modern European dining destination in a shipping container owned by chef Luke French, which was number 30 in the national top 100.

At number 41 was Roots in York, and chef Tommy Banks’ original venture, Michelin-starred gastropub The Black Swan at Oldstead, appears at number 65.

Number 48 is a new entry – ChefsTable at TRUEFoods. TRUEFoods, based on an industrial estate in the village of Melmerby near Harrogate, is primarily a manufacturer of sauces for the restaurant industry, but also has a 10-seater test kitchen where a 14-course tasting menu is served for a unique and ‘up close and personal’ dining experience. In 2020, The Times critic Giles Coren visited chef Mitch Mitchell’s unusual venture and likened it to Copenhagen restaurant Noma.

The other Yorkshire entries are Michael Wignall’s Michelin-starred The Angel at Hetton at number 64 and The Moorcock Inn at Norland near Sowerby Bridge at 80.

However, The Moorcock will close this month as owners Alisdair Brooke-Taylor and Aimee Turford opted not to renew their lease on the building. ‘Simple pragmatism’ due to rising operating costs was cited as the reason for closure.

The Yorkshire restaurants that dropped out of the guide this year were Le Cochon Aveugle in York, which Josh and Victoria Overington closed last year having traded since 2014, and Skosh, also in York, did not re-appear. Joro, The Black Swan and The Moorcock did not feature in the 2022 top 100.

The top 100 is compiled from a survey of 3,000 customers with no input from professional judges. This year respondents demonstrated ‘push-back’ against restaurants perceived as overpriced and poor value, leading to several Michelin-starred names being omitted.

In the past, well-known Yorkshire destinations such as The Man Behind the Curtain in Leeds, The Box Tree in Ilkley and the now-closed Yorke Arms in Nidderdale have all been included in the top 100.
