A childhood near the Harewood estate and schooldays in Leeds mean celebrated chef Marco Pierre White is rooted in Yorkshire.
He returns to Harrogate in October for the first ever Great White Food Festival and plans to pop in to Bettys for a pikelet while he’s there....ALL of Yorkshire! It is a most extraordinary county with a bit everything – moors, coast, dales – that is what makes it the greatest. Harrogate is very special – I will be going to back for the festival which is close to the place I started – the St George Hotel.Bettys - love their pikelets.
My playground was the Harewood estate and my pal Briggsy is still near there – we speak all the time. We would play at Lofthouse Farm and watch them making the TV series Follyfoot at Hollin Hall Farm – magical. I went to school at Allerton High – we were the first year not to do the 11 plus. I also remember holding my mother’s hand as we walked through Leeds market.I would head up to the Crathorne Arms near Yarm run by my great friend, restaurateur Eugene McCoy.
