Chef Profile - Nigel Haworth

Nigel Haworth - the key facts...

Born in Accrington, Lancashire, attended Accrington & Rossendale Catering College, before leaving to work five seasons, one in Gleneagles Scotland and four in Switzerland.

In March 1984 he began the challenging role of Head Chef at Northcote Manor and became joint Managing Director and 50% shareholder in 1989.

Awarded Michelin Star in January 1996 and successfully retained this to present date, awarded the Prince Philip medal with City & Guilds in 2004, a lifetime achievement award at the Northern Hospitality Awards 2006, together with many other accolades and awards through his career.

A chef of great skill and finesse who has earned a reputation for true terroir and gastronomic brilliance.

Nigel Haworth has long had a passion for all things local, not just the specialties of a region famous for its enviable line-up of traditional dishes, but also for local food heroes. These are the home-grown band of artisan suppliers who bring him the pick of the crop, the leanest cuts and the catch of the day. That is why Nigel Haworth will make sure wherever possible all the dishes appearing on his menus at Northcote Manor and particularly at The Three Fishes at Mitton and The Highwayman at Kirkby Lonsdale feature produce from people in the region, people he knows and trusts and who are fast becoming recognised as some of Britain's leading producers.

Photographs of all Nigel's food heroes line the walls of the Three Fishes and The Highwayman in tribute to their dedication, enthusiasm and knowledge, without which this region could not champion the fabulous menus offered by many of the restaurants and pubs of the North West.
