The Open House team first met John Parsons when we opened our kitchen a year and a half ago, through our kitchen manager Maria McCaffrey. Maria had worked with John previously at The Sir William, a historic inn in Grindleford, and had only the highest praise for his cooking as a chef there.
John is local to Hope Valley and has built up a solid reputation and loyal following during his many years as a chef, working in a variety of establishments across Sheffield and North Derbyshire including The Anglers Rest, Sheffield’s Food and Fine Wine, The Beer Engine, The Kitchen on Ecclesall Road, Breedon Cement Works Canteen and The Hathersage Social Club.
Almost everyone you speak to locally knows of John Parsons and raves about his cooking, and it’s easy to see why - his food is creative and refined but not at all fussy, a mix of French classical with British traditional pub grub, using local ingredients with global flavours and cooking styles.
We recently had the chance to see John in action in our kitchen at Open House, cooking an incredible Yorkshire-themed feasting table for a private event, and we’re delighted to have him back again for a kitchen takeover.

10 Trees garden is a 2.5 acre garden in Bamford in the Peak District, which was created by a local man Richard Bardell in 2008 for the simple joy of gardens. Ten old sycamores fringe the garden, which is a blend of naturalised grasses, trees and wildflowers peppered with grass pathways and beautiful cultivated flower beds. From the lawn and through the walnut trees, there are striking views of Bamford Edge to the East and Win Hill to the West.
Today, 10 Trees is an extension of Open House Hathersage, sharing the ethos of offering space for community to gather, to nourish themselves and each other naturally, and to feel at home - but this time in the garden.
For those that want to get their hands dirty, there is a kitchen garden for growing vegetables, an established orchard, and compost stations. This is a place not just for producing amazing food, but for understanding our kinship with the planet and finding the connections between our inside and outside worlds.
On the lawn and around the fire pit there is space for both conversation and private reflection, for art and for therapeutic exchanges, and most importantly for regenerating our sense of whole-being.
Some days, exchanges and events will be curated by us, for you. Other days it will be all about the tomatoes or the compost or the pruning or the clipping, done together. And then some days, you might just want the space to ‘be’, alongside each other and this precious world.
