East Yorkshire’s The Pipe and Glass Inn has been named Pub of the Year in the 2012 edition of the Michelin Eating Out in Pubs Guide.
The pub, which currently holds a Michelin star, is situated in South Dalton, East Yorkshire, very close to Grimbsby and the East Coast. It was taken over by James and Kate Mackenzie in 2006.
The editor of the guide, Rebecca Burr said of the award: "It’s given to a pub which we feel offers something extra special. Here it is a combination of factors which include the warmth of the welcome, the friendliness of the staff, the character of the place and, of course, the food. The Pipe and Glass Inn is a wonderfully warm pub and nothing is ever too much trouble for the owners."
Chef James Mackenzie said: "Both Kate and I are over the moon to be awarded Michelin's Pub of the Year. We've worked so hard to stick to our values of great food served with good old-fashioned Yorkshire hospitality.
“When we first came here it was dark and dismal but we could see the potential in the place. It was big and, at one time, had had some money spent on it. But it needed a lot of work and we fell in love with it.
“We live in the village and it has become our life. We are not planning anything else. One pub is enough as we both work here.”
