The only restaurant in the North East with two Michelin stars is celebrating after having retained its prestigious title for another year.
The Raby Hunt in Summerhouse, near Darlington, was awarded its second Michelin Star in 2016, just seven years after chef James Close and his family took on the former real ale pub.
And 'perfectionist' James has thanked staff and customers following the unveiling of this year's Michelin Guide. Named Chef of the Year in 2016, James spends days in the kitchen perfecting new dishes to add to the menu.
