The Winteringham Fields is a 3 AA rosette
restaurant on the banks of the river Humber. Previously the restaurant was one
of the best in England, holding two Michelin stars, however the previous chef sold
the restaurant and as things stand some have considered it a fall from grace. However things have been looking up as new owner and head chef
Colin McGurran became a well known face on the Great British Menu (a
competition between the top regional chefs of Britain) and twice has had his
dishes on the final menu beating top competition.
Despite no Michelin star the kitchen
clearly has ambition and talent with Colin at the pass and modern techniques are
handled very well, not too obtrusive, actually adding to a dish.
We visited last year and looking back the
tasting menu showed real skill and precision and is definitely somewhere I am
keen to visit again to see how things are and should be progressing.
The menu we chose was the 9 course “surprise”
menu at £79. With only a tidbit of information given for each course the menu
should show the chefs vision for the restaurant whilst also perhaps exploring
new flavor profiles for the diner.
