Charles Brierley has known The White Hart intimately since he was a child: he attended the adjacent Sunday school. Suspecting that there might be more to life than Leviticus, he ventured next door to satisfy his thirst for knowledge. Sadly the Revelations were all too brief, because after one pint his lack of years was cruelly exposed, and he was thrown out.

The pint was so memorable that despite that close childhood shave, he bought the Inn.

He and Chef John Rudden have restored it, and the faith of countless food-lovers, by bringing award-winning cuisine and hospitality to this windswept corner of the Pennines. Fortunately altitude doesn’t worry Charles, a keen skier who has worked in the Highlands, the Rockies and Bavaria. Photographs of China and Tibet in the bar remind customers that here is a man destined for the heights, altitudinally and professionally. Absconding from Sunday school to The White Hart is still forbidden unless you happen to be the teacher, but it is a wonderful place for a Sabbatical!
