'We just wanted to bring a village pub back to life' - Michelin Star joy for couple behind foodie inn
When husband and wife team Kevin and Nicola Tickle took on a crumbling 17th century coaching inn in Cumbria, their main aim was to bring an old pub back to life at the heart of the community. But now their efforts have seen them land their first Michelin Star - considered the most prestigious of all foodie awards.
"We really didn’t think we would be in the running this year, we really can’t describe what this means to us both, especially with all that’s been thrown at us in the last couple of years. Both Nicola and Kevin grew up in the Lake District, within farming families and seeing first hand the provenance of the food on their tables. It would inspire their careers and philosophies, and when the couple became parents for the first time decided the time was right to open their own venue together.
Its recognition comes amid a huge night for the Lake District at this year's Michelin ceremony. For Cumbria now boasts 11 Michelin Star restaurants, more than any other area outside of London.
