Horsforth-born Matt Healy, known from MasterChef: The Professionals, is excited to announce he’s expanding with a new restaurant in Ilkley while continuing his work in Horsforth.Matt’s ‘food to swear by’ brand has become a favourite in the Leeds dining scene, earning recognition with a 2024Michelin Plate for the 3rd consecutive year and a mention in The Good Food Guide. Now, he's bringing the same style of modern British cooking to Ilkley.MasterChef judge Marcus Wareing once described Matt’s sauces as “some of the best he had ever tasted,” and Jay Rayner’s review in The Guardian simply stated, “Bloody hell, that’s good” (though not in those exact words).With this new Ilkley opening, Matt and his experienced team are looking forward to serving up great food and service, both in Ilkley and back home in Horsforth.

The staff couldn't be more helpful and we thought it was equivalent to the 2 star Michelin meals we have previously had but the price is a lot less. My guests are particularly picky and hard to impress but they thought it was wonderful. The Sunday lunch is amazing value. There was so much food we couldn't finish it .As always the food is extremely good. I usually end up feeling frustrated when we go out because l can cook better meals than is served but this certainly isn't the case here. The atmosphere is lovely and very relaxing. It's informal and friendly and the staff are very attentive and couldn't do enough to be more helpful. I love the stained glass windows and the very comfortable upholstered chairs Thank you box tree for a lovely relaxing time.
