Our review of Raby Hunt (February 2019)
After purchasing a local boozer with his parents in 2009, former golf pro and self-taught chef James Close has gone on to build something very special indeed at the Raby Hunt. The award of a second star from our favourite tyre munching inspectors in 2016 catapulted the restaurant, in the small village of Summerhouse near Darlington, to national recognition. The other major guides have been perhaps slightly less enthused in that time, but I was nonetheless expecting a high quality meal as I visited with my wife for dinner on a mild Friday in February to celebrate our anniversary....
