THE PEARLY COW STORY

Welcome to Pearly Cow- an independent collection of restaurants created by three brothers, Tristan, James and Tom Guest. Together, they have a love of creating wonder-filled dining-destinations with never-tried-before dishes, sure to make an impression.

They created Pearly Cow in 2022, opening Pearly Cow York first, followed by Margate in 2023 and Brighton in 2024. What actually is Pearly Cow though? Well, it's all about indulgence. It’s the feeling of finding a pearl in an oyster shell. It’s a bit of magic.

We serve the finest cuts of meat cooked over open flame, and the freshest seafood on ice. Our chips will change your life (IYKYK), and our soufflés are just something else too.

Each Pearly Cow is headed by an exceptional Executive Chef and their team. At Pearly Cow York, that's Lawrence Yates who champions the Pearly Cow approach to dining..

our pearls of wisdom

Of course, our ingredients' quality is vital to our food's quality. But we also look for ethical greatness and genuine localness in our suppliers.

It's Elementary

Our cooking and presentation techniques are simple, and we think, the best. Searing flavour over open flame and preserving delicacies on ice. On the menu, there’s raw and light and smoky and deep. We keep it simple to put nature first. It’s elementary, no pun intended..

Best of British

Pearly Cows are found from York to Brighton. Around each one we’ve found the best-of-the-best suppliers to showcase British produce, from Yorkshire beef to Whitstable oysters. Wherever you dine, you’ll benefit from the whole Herd’s knowledge.

Mother Nature

We obsess about the changing seasons to serve up flavours that take you back. The first spears of asparagus, the first hedgerow fruits. The moments we all look forward to each year, are celebrated here at our sustainable restaurants.

Feeling at Home

Dining is not just about the food, but also about the experience, the feeling. Our friendly staff are dedicated to providing a memorable and relaxing experience and ensuring that every guest feels at home in Pearly Cow..

SUPPLIERS

Of course, our ingredients' quality is vital to our food's quality. But we also look for ethical greatness and genuine localness in our suppliers.

R&J

R&J is a Yorkshire-born-and-bred family farm and butcher that's been earning loyalty since the 1850s. They refer to their farming style as Low and Slow. Low being the level of impact on nature, and Slow being the natural pace at which their animals grow because they freely graze. R&J also source from a cooperative of small-scale, specialist Yorkshire farmers. The reason being they are all about supplying the best, not just their own.

Hodgson Fish

Hodgson Fish started with the creation of a smokehouse in 1850. Generations have handed down to generations, and it is now a Hartlepool-based legend of fish expertise. Exceptional freshness is a given. Their knowledge is priceless – we've never met a more discerning seafood supplier. And Hodgson ensures they only supply us with catch that is ethically sourced both in terms of fishing technique and fisherperson pay.
