Harrogate's Starling Independent Bar, Café and Kitchen has invested more than £10,000 in new kitchen equipment as it launches a refreshed menu inspired by customer feedback.
The independent venue has introduced its first range of homemade burgers, alongside new brunch dishes and the return of several customer favourites.
The investment will allow Starling to create its own burger mix using meat from local supplier Syke House Farm, with each burger mixed and pressed by hand in its kitchen.
Starling has also strengthened its partnership with fellow Harrogate independent Baltzersen's, which will now supply all its bread, including burger buns and breakfast muffins.
Other local suppliers include Ian Taylor Eggs in Burton Leonard and TMR Seafood in Ripon.
The new menu follows a customer survey carried out over the summer, which invited diners to share their favourite dishes and suggest improvements.
As a result, Starling has also reintroduced all-day food service, with its kitchen now open from 10am until 9pm, seven days a week.
Starling General Manager Dan Howard said:
“We've always believed that good food starts with good ingredients and a team that really cares about what they're putting on the plate.
“Investing significantly in new equipment means we can serve our burgers exactly how we want them, using our own mix, prepared and pressed by hand in our kitchen.
“We could buy burgers in, but that's not how we like to do things."
Brunch remains a key focus of the new menu, with an expanded selection of dishes and a dedicated Eggs Benedict section.
Options include the popular three-egg Benedict sliders and a new pulled chilli beef brisket version.
Customer favourites including shakshuka and huevos rancheros are also returning.
The refreshed menu includes children's brunch options, a kids' burger and smaller nine-inch pizzas, alongside vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free choices.
Starling will also continue serving its popular pizzas, made using fresh dough prepared in-house each day.
Dan added:
“We're also incredibly grateful to everyone who took the time to complete our customer survey.
“We asked people to be honest with us and we had some brilliant suggestions.
“This menu is very much a reflection of what our customers have told us they love and what they'd like to see next.”
The new menu is available at Starling now.
