2. Barnard Castle

Episode 2 of 5

Food innovator Simon Preston visits a UK town and, with a local chef, creates a new signature dish: Barnard Castle. From 2014.

Stories of Dickens, Richard III, an entrepreneurial community and a unique landscape.

These all provide inspiration for food innovator Simon Preston and local chef Andrew Rowbotham as they capture the spirit of Barnard Castle in Teesdale in a single signature dish.

Local antiques expert David Harper shares stories from history; young business entrepreneur Leah Hobson gives her alternative view of the townsfolk through the clothes they buy and sell while retired vet Neville Turner provides a window into the beautiful flora and fauna that surrounds the town.

Producer: Pennie Latin
