Joshua and Victoria are no strangers to acclaim. For over a decade, they ran Le Cochon Aveugle and its sister wine bar Cave du Cochon in York, earning national recognition and building a loyal following for their creative cooking and warm hospitality. In 2023, their new venture Mýse quickly made its mark, awarded a Michelin Star within its first year — a testament to their vision, hard work, and deep respect for provenance.
Dining at Mýse is a refinement of simplicity and local pride. Menus are shaped by “Time and Place,” reflecting what’s available each day from regenerative farms, foraged finds, and trusted suppliers. Expect house-made charcuterie, dry-aged meats, infusions, and ferments, paired with wines and thoughtful non-alcoholic options curated by Victoria. Every detail, from bespoke tableware to the rhythm of the courses, tells a story of craft and care.
The restaurant occupies a beautifully restored 19th-century inn. Inside, you’ll find a fire-lit snug, open kitchen drama, rustic beams, and three inviting en-suite rooms upstairs, so the experience can linger into the next morning.
Why Mýse deserves its spot on the “Indie” map:
Mýse stands out because it marries deep local roots with ambitious modern dining. With its Michelin Star, its creative use of Yorkshire’s bounty, and the Overingtons’ proven track record, this is not just a meal, but an experience rooted in heritage, terroir, and hospitality.
“Mýse brings Michelin Star dining to the tiny village of Hovingham… Excellent ingredients – cooked expertly – are the backbone of the dishes, which deliver originality and great depth of flavour.”
