A popular Yorkshire pub run by a Michelin-starred chef has launched what it believes to be the UK’s first scotch egg loyalty card.

The General Tarleton is an award-winning village pub in Ferrensby in North Yorkshire, which has been revived after being taken over and re-opened by Yorkshire chef Tommy Banks in autumn 2025.

And despite serving up food which our reviewer described as ‘sublime’ it has been the scotch egg which has become a local legend for visitors to the pub. In fact, our reviewer called them a revelation too.

Customers have been lapping up the signature scotch eggs, which are available on the bar menu or as part of the lunch and a la carte menu, and the pub is now going to reward true lovers of the tasty snack.

All they have to do is pick up a card on their next visit, and for every six scotch eggs they buy, the seventh will be on the house.

A spokesperson for the General Tarleton said: “The cards are a thank you to the regulars who keep coming back for them, and an invitation for newcomers to discover what all the fuss is about.”

Guests can pick up a card from Monday (October 26) at the pub and start collecting now, ahead of The General Tarleton’s Scotch Egg Championships launching in 2027.
