Heft

Chef Kevin Tickle will be the man behind the stoves at Heft, High Newton. Cumbrian born Kevin grew up on the Furness Peninsula on the county’s Irish Sea coast, where he enjoyed a rural childhood, exploring the countryside, hunting, and fishing from an early age. Without question his upbringing is the underpinning of his intimate knowledge of both the local landscape and its environment. Ultimately, it’s this knowledge that plays a major part in his cooking, his awareness of his surroundings and consequently what grows where and when is just as important as his obvious skill in creating plates of food.
