Chef Eugene McCoy
AN AWARD-winning chef who has run restaurants across North Yorkshire and the North-East since 1976 has been declared bankrupt.
Eugene McCoy, 63, who used to own and run the Cleveland Tontine, west of Northallerton, filed for bankruptcy at Middlesbrough County Court.
Mr McCoy recently relaunched The Crathorne Arms, near Yarm, and it is understood the bankruptcy relates to his time at the Tontine.
The Crathorne Arms operation is unaffected by the action and is trading normally.
Mr McCoy, whose actress daughter Maimie is starring as Milady de Winter in The Musketeers, was unavailable for comment.
The restaurateur stepped down from running the Tontine restaurant, near Osmotherley, last summer.
