A Knaresborough pub has launched a young chefs competition to inspire the next generation of foodies.
Six Poor Folk has invited anyone between the ages of 11 and 16 to design their own small plate using seasonal produce.
The winning entry will be featured on the pub's menu throughout October. The pub is organising a celebrity chef to judge the dishes.

Thousands of chefs leave the profession every year because of tough working conditions. But the pub is trying to stem the tide.
Ashleigh Lambert, one of the owners at Six Poor Folk, told the Stray Ferret:
"When you are young it can make a big difference to win a competition like this. It could inspire them to carry on in food. It could inspire people like Harvey. He is working in our kitchen part time and really enjoying it."
Ms Lambert said she had seen a high calibre of entries already but she urged as many people as possible to get involved.
