Think chic, exotic, luxury and you might visualise a snippit of what Raffles is all about. The inspiration for the restaurant stems from the world famous Raffles in Singapore.

When we first came to Monk End we came to farm, it was another 4 years before we even contemplated offering accommodation. In the early years we threw ourselves into building up a successful 200 sow breeding heard. It was in 1988 that we first ventured into bed and breakfast (during one of the periodic downturns in pig prices) My wife taught full time in Middlesbrough at the time,and initially only intended to offer accommodation during the summer, however autumn came and we carried on, we enjoyed meeting people from all walks of life and from all over the world and to cap it all they paid us!
