Peter Howarth, Head Chef
Peter Howarth, one of the UK’s finest chefs with an extensive career working within many of the country’s most prominent Michelin starred hotel restaurants, has arrived at Hipping Hall as head chef.
The ex-Devonshire Arms head chef is joined by two former sous chefs at new post.

Early 2022 will see Hipping Hall offer The Stables, five bedrooms with lounge and dining room available for exclusive hire, complete with dining experiences from Peter and his brigade.
Combining his love for British produce, remarkable culinary training and international influences, Peter has unveiled his first collection of menus for the restaurant with rooms.
Peter seeks to combine the principles of ‘purity, simplicity and freshness’ to the dishes he creates, using local and seasonal ingredients to deliver an exceptional dining experience fuelled by flavour.
Peter Howarth says, “I have gained huge amounts of inspiration from the surrounding three counties throughout my career, and it’s brilliant to now be working more closely with local artisans and continuing to raise the profile of the produce available here.
“ I’m thrilled too, to have brought Tom and Ben with me from The Devonshire Arms – they both fell in love with the restaurant with rooms and the local area, and are brimming with enthusiasm and excitement for their next chapter at Hipping Hall.”
Set in ten acres of secluded walled gardens, Hipping Hall is a magical discovery for those looking to explore north Lancashire, Yorkshire Dales National Park and the Lake District.
