Our Story
Eric's restaurant has been a labour of love for our chef/proprietor, Eric Paxman, who opened the doors in November 2010. Since then, we've been proud to receive various accolades and awards, including the North East's Regional Restaurant of the Year, as voted for by readers of the 'Good Food Guide'. Eric's journey began at Huddersfield Technical College, where he gained a distinction in chef training. He then worked under the best in the world, including Marco Pierre White's 'L'escargot' in London, and later in Sydney, Australia, under the late Bill Grainger. These experiences have shaped Eric's personable and relaxed style, which is reflected in every dish that leaves our kitchen.
