Joe Lodge

Meet Joe, a native Yorkshire lad with deep roots in The Dales. He began his culinary journey under Michelin-starred chef Brian Dennison, learning the ropes from the ground up. By 25, he’d taken on a riverside guest house in Burnsall, where his elegantly simple cooking helped turn it into a sought-after dining destination.

After nearly a decade, Joe moved on to new pastures. He launched an outside catering company serving North Yorkshire and also worked with The Courtyard Dairy, a celebrated cheesemonger and close collaborator of Swaledale.

Joe joined Swaledale in 2016 as Operations & Sales Manager, drawn by a shared commitment to provenance, seasonality and good food. He remains a chef at heart and brings invaluable insight to our team.

He’s also got a few recipes and tips to share. We think you’re going to love them.

Mongolian Beef Stir Fry

Cooks in 40 minutes Difficulty Medium By

A bold mix of savoury flavours and tender beef. This quick Mongolian stir-fry balances sweet and savoury in a rich, caramelised sauce with garlic, ginger, soy and crisp veg. A weeknight favourite I return to often.
