Business Spotlight

Cooper King x Abbey Inn Collaboration

A special evening was held at The Abbey Inn, Byland, on Friday 27 June, celebrating a longstanding collaboration with Tommy Banks and his team. Since 2018, Cooper King Distillery has worked closely with the group, distilling ingredients from the oldstead kitchen garden for use in their award-winning pubs and restaurants. This partnership is rooted in a shared commitment to sustainability and exceptional flavour – a philosophy recently recognised when The Abbey Inn was named Sustainable Pub of the Year by Top 50 Gastropubs.

The collaborative dinner featured Cooper King spirits both within the dishes and as expertly paired drinks for each course. Guests also enjoyed insights from the distillery team, who shared the story behind their sustainably made spirits. The event highlighted the vibrant local community, where innovative producers and passionate people continue to make North Yorkshire a hub for outstanding food and drink.
