James was joined on his travels by Northcote’s head chef Lisa Goodwin-Allen, who invited him to the reknowned Langho restaurant and hotel for a meal.
The ITV series has seen James touring the length and breath of Britain, meeting and eating with top chefs and food producers.
Episode 6 was centred almost entirely on Holmes Mill, providing a massive publicity boost for the Clitheroe venue, Northcote, and all things Lancashire.
