Celebrated Head Chef returns to Lancashire’s Michelin-starred Northcote
“There’s a real buzz around the place, with lots happening and a clear ambition for the future.”
Lancashire’s Michelin-starred Northcote has announced the return of Mat Sherry as Head Chef.
Mat left the Langho establishment five years ago, going on to lead the kitchen at Number One at Balmoral in Edinburgh, where the restaurant earned four AA Rosettes during his tenure.
Northcote said: “His return brings valuable experience from an acclaimed dining operation, alongside an existing understanding of Northcote and its approach to hospitality.”


Working alongside Chef Patron Lisa Goodwin-Allen, Mat will help lead the kitchens and talented brigade, supporting Lisa’s culinary vision and contributing to the continued evolution of Northcote’s food offering.
Mat said: “It’s fantastic to be back at Northcote. I have some great memories of my time here previously. There’s a real buzz around the place, with lots happening and a clear ambition for the future. It’s an exciting time to be part of Northcote and I can’t wait to see what we can achieve together.”
