Cumbrian-born chef Kevin Tickle is a well-known name around these parts, having been chef forager at L’Enclume, head chef at Rogan & Co, and head chef at Forest Side. In 2021, he and his wife, Nicola, took on a 17th-century inn in the village of High Newton jus south of the Lake District, for their first joint venture, Heft. It attracts folk from miles around for Tickle’s modern tasting menus of such dishes as XO-glazed mussel kebab, chip-shop curry and scraps; and last year’s mutton ham, Legbar yolk and sea-truffle crumpet.
