About Andrew Pern

Andrew was born in Whitby and grew up on his parents’ farm in nearby Sleights. He attended catering college in Scarborough, gaining experience working in France along the way. After working in local hotels and restaurants, he was appointed Head Chef at the Milburn Arms in Rosedale at the tender age of 21. Aged 25, he bought The Star Inn at Harome and quickly fashioned it into one of the first ever ‘gastropubs’, winning awards virtually on a monthly basis for his cooking, which has always championed seasonal, local ingredients.

Overnight accommodation was soon added to allow customers to savour their experience of The Star’s hospitality a little longer. Cross House Lodge, The Star’s boutique hotel, quickly became a popular destination for shooting parties visiting the estates of the North Yorkshire Moors around Helmsley, as well as the perfect foodie wedding venue.

A popular performer at local food festivals, Andrew has also made a number of television appearances including with the Hairy Bikers and as a competitor on BBC’s Great British Menu in 2011, when he won his regional heat and narrowly missed taking his dessert to the final menu.

Recently, his efforts have been focused on the expansion of his restaurants; all very different, but all featuring Andrew’s ability to provide the best package of good, old-fashioned hospitality.
