Northcote gathers nineteen Michelin starred chefs for Obsession27

Northcote returns to its calendar of culinary events with Obsession27, a seventeen night season that brings nineteen exceptional chefs to its kitchens in the Ribble Valley. The residency unfolds from November 12, 2026, and draws together a combined nineteen Michelin stars. Each chef brings their own signature approach to ingredient and technique, transforming the restaurant into a succession of culinary perspectives across autumn’s closing weeks.

The line up reaches across Europe with chefs travelling from Belgium, Norway, Greece, Portugal and the Netherlands, alongside established names from Ireland and the United Kingdom. The roster includes both internationally acclaimed restaurant heads and familiar figures from the British gastronomic landscape, each selected for the singular vision they bring to their craft. The gathering has the character of a masterclass held in real time, with guests witnessing the working methods and creative instincts that define each visiting kitchen.

Northcote, situated in the Ribble Valley in Lancashire, has long positioned itself as a destination for ambitious gastronomy, and Obsession27 extends that hospitality to chefs whose work shares its commitment to precision, ingredient quality and the thoughtful evolution of contemporary cooking. The event offers patrons the rare opportunity to encounter multiple perspectives on modern cuisine within a single venue across a sustained period.

Registration for the mailing list opens access to the full line up announcement as it unfolds. Northcote will reveal the names and dates of participating chefs through its official channels in the months ahead.
