THE FOOD
At the heart of The Old Boar is a kitchen driven by passion, seasonality, and a deep respect for Yorkshire’s rich larder. Our chefs work closely with the rhythm of the land, drawing daily inspiration from our very own kitchen gardens. Just steps from the pass, these gardens provide a steady supply of fresh herbs, heritage vegetables, and edible flowers, all grown with care and purpose. This close connection to the soil allows us to craft dishes that are vibrant, honest, and full of flavour — celebrating the seasons and the beauty of homegrown produce, from garden to plate.
