DN1: this might just be the best restaurant in Yorkshire that you've never heard of before

Likely it is that before you finish your sentence, and in no small part owing to a flurry of prejudice and misconception, an eyebrow might be raised over the teacup across the table.

However, an itsy-bitsy teeny-weeney Michelin star-chasing little deli that by its owners’ own admission is well off the beaten track will have that eyebrow back in situ sharpish, with its own take on top quality food.

DN1 Delicatessen and Dining Room is the former Scicluna's, beneath the Premier Inn. It was taken over 18 months ago by fishmonger Martyn Pippard and his partner Sarah Wilson, who have transformed it into a modern dining space with chef's table. It serves a tasting menu and the team have ambitions of entering the Michelin Guide; now Doncaster establishment has ever won a star.

They haven't strayed far from its roots either, and still have a large deli counter stocking 130 different cheeses, Iberian hams and obscure world ingredients.

The thing worrying the proprietors of DN1 the most, though, is that so deeply embedded in the rough is their culinary diamond that nobody will notice them. So, how about it? Shall you and I go on that date to Doncaster, dear?
