Eating out: Halifax town centre restaurant where Samuel L Jackson dined shortlisted for prestigious award

Pride & Provenance, off Horton Street, has been chosen from among 186 businesses to be a finalist in the Food and Drink Establishment and People’s Choice categories of the Yorkshire and Humberside Family Business Awards 2022.

The winners will be announced at a celebration event in Leeds with co-host food writer and presenter Nigel Barden next month.

Pride & Provenance Co-Owner, Melanie Thompson, said: “The hospitality industry is continuing to have a challenging time so it is an absolute joy to learn our business has been shortlisted for both these awards.”

Pride and Provenance opened a new luxury shopping space underneath the restaurant last year, where they have also been hosting events.

Hollywood movie start Samuel L Jackson popped into the restaurant for lunch when he was in Halifax filming the new Marvel series for Disney Plus Secret Invasion in January.
