Yorkshire Coast

The hairy bikers are on the Yorkshire coast, preparing moules mariniere with triple-cooked chips, a langoustine salad and a beer and miso chicken with grilled aubergine.

This week, the hairy bikers are on the Yorkshire coast. Starting on one of Scarborough's beautiful beaches, the bikers meet Jamie. His company is the first one to farm seaweed offshore, not only for its gastronomic attraction but also for its many other eco-friendly prospects. In Aike, they visit a family-run vineyard and winery, Laurel Vines, and borrow the family’s kitchen to prepare some delicious dishes: moules mariniere, triple-cooked chips and their own northern baguette.

In Malton, the bikers discover the art of making the perfect macaron with Frenchman Florian Poirot, who is now an adopted Yorkshireman. Back on the road, the bikers head south of Whitby to Robin Hood's Bay, a picturesque 16th-century fishing village. After a nice stroll around, they make a langoustine salad with the greatest ever Marie Rose sauce.

Next, it’s time to visit Whitby properly and taste some local delicacy. The bikers meet Barry, who keeps the fires burning at Whitby’s legendary artisan smokehouse. Si and Dave climb the 199 steps up to St Marie church to enjoy the stunning view and Barry’s kippers.

For their last bit of the journey, the bikers are back in Scarborough to cook a final meal. Inspired by the seaweed seasoning produced by Jamie, they decide to cook a beer and miso BBQ chicken with some grilled marinated aubergine.
