Newton House

The first visit is to Newton House in Knaresborough, where owner Denise Carter and colleague Jackie Fennell's traditional B&B focuses on organic and free range breakfasts. The group get to know each other while flavouring flatbreads with fellow foodies Sean Edlin and Kathryn Turnbull from The White House in Brighton bonding with the hosts. Over dinner, Essex girls Marianne Cammack and Deina Thomas from Wakes Hall Lodges in Colchester dominate the conversation, riling up some of the others. At breakfast, down-to-earth Blackpool lads Mike Hayes and Neal Widdowson from The Highlands Pub think it's all way too fancy. Come feedback, Denise and Jackie are left feeling confident and think they have set the bar high.
