Bib, Bib
hooray!
O
wners of the most-decorated
restaurant on Teesside are
celebrating again after retaining a
prestigious Michelin Bib Gourmand award
for a third successive year.
Chadwicks Inn Maltby is again the region’s
only restaurant to receive the much sought-
after accolade, exclusive to Michelin Guide-
listed restaurants offering exceptionally good
food at moderate prices.
With two AA Rosettes and a listing in
the Michelin Guide for the past eight years,
it’s little wonder that many associate the
Chadwicks brand with the highest standards
of fine dining – and yet co-owner Helen
Gill believes the restaurant remains “an
undiscovered gem” for many Teessiders.
“We are delighted to have retained the Bib
Gourmand award,” said Helen, who co-owns
the 2AA Rosette restaurant with husband
Gary, Lee Tolley and head chef Steven
Chadwicks Inn Maltby has retained
its Michelin Bib Gourmand award.
Lawford. “The judges turn up, dine and leave
without giving you any notice, so it’s about
ensuring our standards are consistently high
every day.
“It’s recognition for all the hard work
we put in behind the scenes. You have to
travel to Newcastle to find the next nearest
restaurant with a Bib Gourmand, so we’re
proud to be setting the very highest of
standards.”
Asked how they do it, Helen replied: “First
of all, we have a great chef in Steven. There
are certain things the Bib Gourmand judges
look for in terms of menu and produce.
Clearly, they feel we’re hitting the mark.
“But front of house has to be high level
too, so it’s about the all-round experience
without being overly formal.”
For a flavour of the mouth-watering dishes
being served up at Chadwicks Inn, a typical
starter may be Whitby Crab and Caviar Tart,
Spiced Plum
Tomato
Dressing
and
Tarragon Mayonnaise, while a pick from
their delicious main courses is Roast
Gressingham Duck Breast and Duck Leg
Pastry, Dauphinoise Potato and Butternut
Squash.
Helen added: “For anyone who wants a
high end offering that’s relaxed, cosy and
never stuffy, we’re confident they’ll love
Chadwicks Inn.”
