Weekender: New chef joins Box Tree restaurant team

A chef who previously ran a popular Harrogate restaurant has joined The Box Tree team in Ilkley.

Announcing the news on social media, chef Michael Carr said: ““Simon Gueller and I have joined company and are set to take over the fine dining food scene here in Ilkley Box Tree Restaurant.

“I’m super proud to be working along side this legend, we clicked instantly and I can tell you that magic is already starting to happen here at this iconic restaurant and we plan to elevate the restaurant and the food to new heights… come down and check out the new and exciting dishes on the menu!”

Carr previously opened Restaurant 92 in Harrogate, which closed in January after three years.

The Box Tree did not make the Michelin 2019 guide after having held a star since 2005.  After which, Gueller returned to The Box Tree kitchen.
