At Low Penhowe B&B we are proud to have been awarded our ‘Deliciously Yorkshire Breakfast’ seal of approval; in the last few years we also have awarded ‘Farmhouse Breakfast Champion’s for the UK’, ‘Taste of Yorkshire Finalist’ for our commitment to the promotion of delicious, healthy breakfasts using local and regional produce.
As “Yorkshire Finalist” the judges commented as follows “The standard was extremely high and totally above reproach; warm welcome, excellent service, great food, and beautiful surroundings. We in Yorkshire should be extremely proud of having guest accommodation of this standard.”
Looking after your heart and not serving up a fatty breakfast is all important and that is why Flora, a Unilever company awarded us their ‘Happy Hearts Golden Award’ for using their White Fl
ora product for cooking the eggs!
The Farmhouse Breakfast competition was organised by HGCA (Home Grown Cereals Authority). The campaign highlights the wealth of high-quality regional breakfast produce and reminds us all of the importance of making time for breakfast! Judge Kate Baumber on behalf of HGCA declared that the breakfast produce and exceptional service given at Low Penhowe was indeed worthy of ‘Farmhouse Breakfast Champion’ status. She was particularly impressed by the use and promotion of locally produced quality ingredients. “The Turner’s certainly make time for breakfast, using an Aga to cook all ingredients. They prove that healthy eating can be absolutely delicious!”
This is how Regional Food Gro
up for Yorkshire and Humber described us on winning the Best Yorkshire Breakfast: – How do you fancy abreakfast of free range eggs from the garden, Yorkshire smoked kippers, home-roasted York ham, muesli from an organic farm in Driffield, bacon from Elvington, sausages made in the next village, home-baked bread made from local organic flour, butter from Harrogate, jam made by friends and relatives and home-grown tomatoes? All cooked on the Aga in a traditional Yorkshire stone-built farmhouse, with stunning views across the Howardian Hills, the Yorkshire Wolds and across to the North Yorkshire Moors. The judges did, which is why Philippa and Christopher Turner won first prize for their B&B Low Penhowe, a member of the Deliciouslyorkshire Breakfast Scheme, aimed at promoting and celebrating Yorkshire produce to all visitors.
