The winner of Chef of the Year at the Manchester Food and Drinks Awards has said she’s leaving acclaimed Ramsbottom restaurant Baratxuri to head off ‘on a new path’.
Rachel Stockley has been chef at the Basque-inspired restaurant since 2015, and beat the likes of Adam Reid from The French and Simon Martin, of Michelin-starred Mana, to the prize last year.
“In October 2015, I joined Baratxuri,” she said in a statement on Twitter.
