Head chef Tom Sleightholme, who was born and bred in Nawton, Ryedale, said: “I went on washing pots and occasionally helping-out chopping vegetables when they were short staffed in the kitchen, all through my A-levels at York College."

Tom said: “I had no desire to go to university so went to work full time as a basic Commis Chef at The Feathers and the rest as they say is history.”

He added: “Taking over as Head Chef was an exciting and initially scary experience, but it’s my dream job and I was given a lot of responsibility, support and encouragement by previous Head Chef Ian Turner."
