Mel & TJ at The Abbey Inn
Melanie & TJ took over The Appletree at Marton in March 2001 in their first venture together, they transformed it in to one of the best dining pubs in the country, picking up numerous awards over eight years including 'The Good Pub Guide Dining Pub of the Year 2008'.
When, very sadly, the descision was made to leave, the search started for a new place, one that could become bigger and better than their original project and now they've found it... The Abbey Inn at Byland Abbey.
