Such has been the impression they have made that the café has recently been nominated in the ‘Mart is the Heart’ awards. ‘It’s going very well,’ says Jackie who farms with husband, Robert and son, Craig at Studdah Farm in Spennithorne, near Leyburn. ‘As a publican’s daughter, I’ve been used to catering all my life. My mum ran the mart café in Leyburn and I used to work at the Copper Bridge Inn in East Witton. My parents, George and Margaret, had the King’s Head in Leyburn.
