Local artisan breweries are amongst those receiving a great deal of recognition for their products but our features this month include artisan spirit companies Lincoln Gin, Ex Libris botanical vodka and A Little Luxury who are producing exciting flavours for discerning imbibers.

Our outdoor feature is an invitation to blow away any cobwebs with a visit to the recently opened North Sea Observatory at Chapel

Here we have plenty which are perfect for warming the hearts of family and friends.

We wish you compliments of the season and all of the businesses who appear in this issue look forward to giving you a warm welcome.

Just add tonic It’s been quite a year for Lincoln Gin owners Matt and Jenny Felgate. After five years they made the decision to sell their coffee shop, Bunty’s, start their family and bring a new product to the Lincolnshire market.

LINCOLN GIN

With the new craft gin market booming, Lincoln Gin has distinguished itself this year.

Whilst it has only been several months since their first bottle was produced, the idea for Lincoln Gin goes back over three years. Always wanting to do something new, Matt had many ambitions before he finally settled on bringing a new gin to fruition.

“I was dropping my sister at Gatwick airport and saw this stand for the Gatwick Distillery. I was fascinated by the process and went to speak with the distiller,” said Matt. “His advice to me was to get as much information as possible, meet with other distillers, learn the market, and find your unique flavour. At the time there were there no other distillers in Lincolnshire so I travelled around the country

attending tours and talks to learn the skill.”

Over the next two years Matt spent time finding the flavours he wanted to include. Using the best from the Lincolnshire countryside, he wanted to include local flavours including angelica and elderflower from Lincoln’s West Common and liquorice from Liquorice Park as well as lime, lemon, grapefruit, juniper and coriander. He also includes beetroot as a nod to the city’s heritage. His first step was to create recipes to find his perfect blend and asked friends and family to try out his recipes. With 20 recipes created Matt was able to reduce this to seven before reducing again to just two very different flavours, a more herby flavour against the citrusy flavour we all know as Lincoln Gin.

A Lincolnshire Life Magazine publication

PAGE 02 & 03.indd 3

He also needed to create a brand that represented Lincoln.

With help from the Guildhall and Lincolnshire Archives Matt found a gin distillery that had been in Lincoln in 1860 in the former Rustons building, The Lincoln Beetroot Distillery.

Using this as the basis for his brand, Lincoln Gin was created.

His next step was to create a logo and packaging and again he used his local knowledge.

With permission from the Mayor of Lincoln and Lincoln Cathedral Matt created a brand with the Coat of Arms featuring the Lincoln Fleur de Lys. He then took ideas from the Magna Carta 800th anniversary celebration to give each bottle a wax seal.

In January Matt rented his first unit and bought his first 30 litre still to begin making larger quantities of gin, before quickly

3

buying another to keep up with demand. He sold his first bottle in January and has just begun selling bottles through the Lincolnshire Coop.

What’s next for Lincoln Gin? “What I would like to do next is create an area for tastings and talks to be held here. I have already purchased a second still and so we’re looking to expand the current distilling area so we can keep up with demand.

The last few months have been really busy for us, meeting with businesses who would like to stock our gin as well as working with venues who want to sell our product. We’re excited to see what the future holds.”

You will be able to find Matt with his gin, in both 70cl and his new 20cl bottles at the Lincolnshire Food & Gift Fair on 1st and 2nd December at the Lincolnshire Showground.

NEWS IN BRIEF

New menu launched at Grange Farm Park Grange Farm Park are thrilled to announce that head chef, Ant Cron, has launched the new Autumn Menu at their brand new kitchen and restaurant. Ant has 20 years’ experience and comes from a five-star background working at The Waldorf Hotel and Hippodrome Casino in London and in Australia. With time served locally at The Livesey Arms, The Millhouse Restaurant,

Covenham and the Comfy Duck, Oaklands Hall Hotel under his belt, he is growing his team and menus at The Stables Bar & Restaurant, the new venture at Grange Farm Park, located on the East Coast of Lincolnshire.

Jonathan Graves, partner at Grange Farm Park and The Stables Bar & Restaurant said: “Gearing up for our first Christmas, the restaurant and bar offers wide appeal both for leisure guests on park or locally on

holiday and also for those living in the area.

“The evolution of our business is mostly marketdriven and having looked at the demands of the market and the feedback of our most regular guests, we embarked on this project, which follows closely to the extension and development of the park and addition of four new luxury holiday lodges.”

Committed to serving the best seasonal and ethically

sourced ingredients, The Stables Bar & Restaurant serves British favourites and comfort food classics in a relaxed and informal brasserie setting, offering a menu that combines local and seasonal ingredients along with some brand new recipes for the specials menu.

Stokes celebrates first year at The Lawn Lincoln’s most well-loved coffee brand is celebrating its first year at The Lawn and to mark the occasion Stokes Tea & Coffee held an informal event at the historic complex.

The event was held on Friday 28th September at The Lawn Café, in the picturesque uphill area of Lincoln, and was attended by more than 50 people including tenants and Stokes staff.

Stokes Tea & Coffee transformed the historic site with an extensive £2million refurbishment which took two years to complete. This renovation turned The Lawn into one of Lincoln’s top destinations with a café, barista training centre, theatre, restaurant, offices and shops as well as serving as the brand’s headquarters for coffee roasting and distributing.

Nick Peel, managing director at Stokes, said:

“We have loved our first year at The Lawn – it was a big move to relocate from Mint Lane where the business had been based for more than 40 years, however it has definitely been worth it.

“Seeing The Lawn come back to life after a tumultuous history has been really lovely and the site now has a lively, vibrant feel thanks to all the retail, food and drink outlets and offices we’ve supported this year.

“The move has also been great for the business as we now have the space to expand our operation. Our new headquarters enable us to treble the production and distribution of our ethically-sourced tea and coffee products. We are in a great position to grow our number of suppliers, and are confident our offering will see Stokes become a mark of quality in the tea and coffee market.

“It’s been a fantastic year and so an event with all the people who helped make our first year so successful seemed like the perfect way to mark the occasion and we can’t

wait to celebrate many more anniversaries at The Lawn.”

After an unprecedented number of entries and four months of rigorous shortlisting, testing and tasting – the results of The Great British Food Awards 2018 are in!

HOW AWARDS ARE JUDGED...

ROUND ONE This year had a record number of entries – all of which demonstrated the UK’s thriving food and drink scene.

In the first round, every single product entered was taste-tested, awarding scores

primarily based around taste but also taking provenance into account.

ROUND TWO A shortlist was made of the favourite products in each category, and a panel of celebrity experts and GBF testers including Michel Roux Jnr, John Torode and Raymond Blanc tasted each product and they named their favourite – along with two highly commended products.

Lincolnshire Tea was awarded the prestigious ‘Highly Commended’ title by celebrity judge, chef and food writer Valentine Warner.

The only tea to be amongst the award-winning products.

“We are so proud and

excited that the top quality of our very own Lincolnshire Tea has been picked out and recognised nationally as being amongst the best Britain has to offer,” said Susie Carlisle of The Lincoln Tea and Coffee Company.

RESULTS… The results are in and The Great British Food Awards proudly present Britain’s best in the Non-alcoholic drink category…

Fairburn’s celebrates Lincolnshire Day with launch of British Blue Eggs at Lincolnshire Co-op stores Local family egg company L J Fairburn & Son celebrated Lincolnshire Day (1st October) with the launch of its awardwinning British Blue® Eggs into 11 Lincolnshire Co-op stores and, for every pack sold, a donation will be made to the new Lincolnshire Coastal Country Park.

The delicious pastel blue eggs, with a vibrant golden yolk, are laid by free range hens fed a bespoke natural diet, containing extracts from brightly coloured flowers, on Fairburn’s Lincolnshire farms. Judges at the prestigious Great Taste Awards described the British Blue® as a ‘perfect egg’ when the range won a sought-after two-star award.

Customers at 11 Lincolnshire Co-op stores will be able to buy the eggs and for every pack of six eggs sold, 1p will be donated to

Lincolnshire’s first botanical vodka The maturity of the craft gin market led Washingborough based designers and spirit entrepreneurs James Cann and Lizzie Mercer to turn their attention to vodka when they were researching their new spirit, Ex Libris.

JAMES CANN LIZZIE MERCER

James and Lizzie met while working on blue chip brands at London agencies. “Craft distilleries were also amongst our clients, “said James, “and we began to think that vodka has so far been the neglected market when working with the flavour possibilities of botanicals.”

They put out a brief to several independent distillers and the resulting best sample was produced by a Lincolnshire independent distillery. “I am originally from Lincolnshire, my family have a print business in Washingborough and Lizzie is from Cambridgeshire so it seemed a logical move to relocate our business, Library Design Studio, back to the county, where we could also focus on our new brand.”

Using a unique selection of botanicals, James and Lizzie have ditched juniper

in favour of clean citrus and fresh bay, with the darker flavours of culinary herbs and spices for their distilled rather than flavoured grain spirit. The name Ex Libris is of course derived from their business but also extends a slow, old club, learned nature to their product.

Languidly laid as a line drawing amongst the books on the logo and product label is a drawing of their own pet rescue cat, Jynx.

The recipe for Ex Libris gives a rounded, fragrant but savoury taste mindful of black teas and herbal bitters. There is a natural sweetness as well as the tang of citrus and spice.

Lizzie’s favourite way to drink their vodka is over a cube of ice, where the sequence of flavours can be savoured. They have also devised their own

A Lincolnshire Life Magazine publication

PAGE 16 & 17.indd 3

recipe for a classic martini and a signature Ex Libris and tonic which work wonderfully with lemon rind (for a more uplifting drink) or thyme/rosemary for a more savoury option.

“The ethics around Ex Libris are very important to us,” added Lizzie. “We wanted slow values to be behind the brand – we are more cat than dog – and we have used recycled paper for our box and shredded packing. Our bottle is square, with a good chunky base, topped with a traditional cork and wax seal.”

Their first production of 200 bottles is now on sale online and will be available in local stockists soon.

Lizzie and James have plans for a launch in London, working with mixologists to produce more cocktail

recipes. Their plans are for Ex Libris hopefully to be on the shelves with other craft spirits in smaller independent bars, restaurants and shops across the country in the near future.

You can find out more at: www.exlibrisvodka.com A 500ml bottle is £37 plus p&p.

NEWS IN BRIEF

Award-winning Doddington Farm Shop set for expansion Lincolnshire’s award-winning Doddington Farm Shop is to be extended to meet a growing demand for locally sourced food and craft drinks.

The Farm Shop, set within the historic Doddington Hall estate, is being developed with the creation of a new wine shop, larger deli area and extended butchery. The larger store will also see the addition of an area dedicated to the sale of a new range of products including professional cookware.

Since opening in 2007, Doddington Hall’s Farm Shop has steadily grown and it has become known for providing quality seasonal food with few or no food miles.

This includes produce from the Hall’s own Kitchen Garden and beef from Lincoln Red cattle reared on the estate.

When the extension is completed during autumn/winter, the store will include a larger range of food produce, locally sourced beers and spirits and new wine shop with dedicated tasting area. www.doddingtonhall.com

Uncle Henry’s serves ‘extraordinarily tasty’ food at Great Taste Awards Great Taste, the world’s most coveted food awards, celebrating the very best in food and drink, has announced the Great Taste stars of 2018. Out of over 12,600 products to be judged, Uncle Henry’s near Grayingham, Lincolnshire was awarded a 3-star Great Taste Award for its home reared Pork Leg Joint, which means the product

was described by judges as extraordinarily tasty, and a 1-star Great Taste Award for its Lincolnshire sausages, which judges described as food that delivers fantastic flavour!

Graham Ward, butchery wholesale manager, explained: “We are delighted to have been recognised for both our Lincolnshire sausage and home reared pork. This award is testament to the

hard work of those who look after and rear our pigs on the farm right through to our traditional butchery at Uncle Henry’s and the team who create such fantastic products. The quality of our products is also recognised by the Lincolnshire Coop which stocks our sliced roast pork and Lincolnshire sausages in selected stores across the county.”

Only two 3-star awards were attained in Lincolnshire.

A super summer for Claythorpe’s pizza pop-up It’s been the perfect summer for Select member Claythorpe Watermill’s pop-up pizzeria, which ran through July and August.

The mill, already known for its popular café and animal collection, opened every Saturday evening for al fresco dining, with authentic, homemade pizzas in its beautiful riverside setting.

Handmade dough and freshly made pizza sauce were all prepared on the day and stone baked in Claythorpe’s very own wood-fired oven.

More dining events are planned for the coming months. Owners Rebecca and Mike Agate bought the oven this year with the help of a Micro Business Grant from ELDC, which also part-funded the purchase of a new outdoor cinema.

Movie nights including The Greatest Showman, Grease and Les Misérables attracted hundreds of new visitors to this unique venue and more, regular film nights will be announced soon (with plenty of fresh pizzas available to the audience).

Sunshine helps draw in the crowds for Galley Hill Farm Strawberry Fayre Hundreds of people enjoyed festivities at Galley Hill Farm in Alford back in July when it held its 5th Annual Strawberry Fayre.

The public were welcomed to the farm to pick strawberries, enjoy tea and cake, as well as a bouncy castle for the children and homemade jam stands.

The Strawberry Fayre gained its name as it is held during the ripest

season for strawberries. The farm has been offering the ‘Pick Your Own’ experience for soft fruits and apples for 38 years.

The annual event has raised funds for Marie Curie Lincolnshire for the past three years. This year was no exception and raised £3,141 with the help of a crew of 14 made up of families and friends.

Second generation farmer owners Ian Scaman and his wife Sandra

explained: “The event is always very well supported – we enjoy raising money for such a good cause. One that is very close to our hearts, due to a personal experience of the nursing service. It’s nice to know that the money gives back to the local Lincolnshire nurses.”

Ian joked: “We have raised over £7,000 in the past three years, that kind of money means we can’t really stop now!”

The money raised from this year’s event has paid for a further 157 hours of night-time nursing within the county for terminal illness patients within their homes.

Kate and Michael Arthur, treasurers of the Lincoln Fundraising Group for Marie Curie added: “We are extremely grateful to Sandra, Ian and the team for their continued support. It’s an incredible about of money that will make a huge difference to our Lincolnshire Nursing Service.”

For more information about this event and the work of Marie Curie, please contact the Lincolnshire Fundraising Office on 07525801531 or lauren.alexander@mariecurie.org.uk

The Lincoln Tea and Coffee Company ‘delivers fantastic flavour’, says Great Taste Awards 2018 The Lincoln Tea and Coffee Company has received a 1-star Great Taste Award for all three products entered into this year’s awards, which means the judges felt their products deliver fantastic flavour.

• Sweet Brazil Blend – Commenting on its character, ‘a little fruit and nut and some chocolate in there too.

Well balanced with a hint of acidity on the finish.’

• Lincolnshire Tea Loose Leaf Blend – ‘The infusion is bright, with

A Lincolnshire Life Magazine publication

PAGE 19.indd 2

character and distinct flavour.’

• Lincolnshire Tea Paper Tea Bags – ‘Fresh and alive, bright and coloury with some briskness – a good, fresh tea.’

The Lincoln Tea and Coffee Company said: “We are so pleased to have received these awards for our products. These are products we feel so passionate about and it is so rewarding for a panel of expert tasters to also recognise the high quality we stand for. Being able to [add] the Great Taste gold star to our products helps us to demonstrate who we are

and we hope our customers are proud to show them off too.”

Recognised as a stamp of excellence among consumers and retailers alike, Great Taste values taste above all else, with no regard for branding and packaging. Whether it is vinegar, granola, bacon or cheese being judged, all products are removed from their wrapper, jar, box or bottle before being tasted.

The judges then savour, confer and re-taste to decide which products are worthy of an award.

SOUTH ORMSBY ESTATE

South Ormsby Estate joins Select Lincolnshire An historic country estate in the Lincolnshire Wolds has become the newest member of Select Lincolnshire.

The 3,000-acre South Ormsby Estate is home to several rural enterprises. The estate and its historic hall are currently undergoing extensive restoration work as part of plans for the sustainable rural development of the area.

Earlier this year, detailed plans were revealed for the estate’s future which will enable the estate to support rural businesses, promote entrepreneurship and sustain the local community.

Renovations, business support and sympathetic development will form the foundations of the estate’s long-term ambitions which aim to make the area a more attractive place to live, work and enjoy.

The estate is already home to 17 businesses, including wood workers, timber

merchants, car mechanics and one of the world’s largest herds of original population Lincoln Red cattle. It’s hoped that the estate’s investments will enable more businesses to establish themselves in the area, helping the local economy and creating jobs in one of the most deprived areas of the country.

An expert team of specialists are behind the proposals which will see a number of historic buildings across the site restored and repurposed for business and community use. One of those is the former rectory in South Ormsby which is to reopen as a bed and breakfast this autumn. The new B&B will create several new jobs and help visitors enjoy the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

In addition, the estate team is currently restoring

A Lincolnshire Life Magazine publication

PAGE 28.indd 2

the 18th-century South Ormsby Hall, parts of which will become six luxury heritage apartments and be converted into office space; the Old School is being renovated so that it can host more community events and exhibitions; a collection of under utilised agricultural buildings will be progressively transformed into a new centre for local businesses and planning permission is currently being sought for a new heritage centre to be opened in renovated farm buildings.

South Ormsby Estate spokesperson, Damien Howard-Pask said: “We’re proud of becoming members of Select Lincolnshire because it stands for values that are important for the estate’s vision for the future. The team is passionate about supporting

modern and traditional rural business and celebrating the creativity and quality of Lincolnshire produce.

“There will be lots of opportunities to work with us and with the businesses we hope to nurture on the estate and we’re looking forward to working with Select Lincolnshire as we invest in the area. We have ambitious plans for helping our area make more of what it does best and we know the future is bright for our estate and for the county.”

Graduation day for Lincolnshire hospitality trainees Two young hospitality stars are celebrating graduating from a collaborative management trainee course in partnership with hotel management company RBH, and University College Birmingham.

Natasha Richmond (20) and Rebecca Moylett (26), who both work at the four-star Forest Pines Hotel & Golf Resort, were among the group of 15 who donned their caps and gowns for a celebratory ceremony at Birmingham Symphony Hall.

They were officially presented with foundation

degrees in professional hospitality operations management, following two years of working within the hotel industry whilst studying for the formal qualification.

Natasha, from Scunthorpe, started the course whilst working as a food and beverage assistant at the hotel, and has since moved into the role of reservations coordinator during her studies.

Rebecca, who also hails from Scunthorpe, has worked as a spa therapist throughout her studies, building her skills and learning from her fellow team members.

Natasha said: “It’s a great feeling to graduate, knowing that I’ve earned a valuable qualification while also gaining experience in different departments throughout my studies. I’m quite ambitious, and this has been the ideal way to push myself even further in my chosen career.”

Rebecca added: “I’m thrilled to have graduated after two years of hard work. The spa area of the hotel business is really complex, so I’ve spent the time gaining as much experience as possible from my colleagues as well as studying hard. I’m now totally focused on taking the

next step in my career.”

Sarah Abercrombie, RBH’s educational development manager, said: “I’m exceptionally proud to see both Natasha and Rebecca graduate. They have worked so hard over the past two years to earn their degrees whilst building their skills on the job. I’m confident they’ll both go far in the industry.”

RBH – formerly Redefine|BDL Hotels – offers the management foundation degree programme to promising internal and external candidates, following its success across its luxury QHotels portfolio in previous years.

“Our Christmas Rum represents Christmas in a glass to us and includes a range of gorgeous ingredients including oranges, lemons, sultanas and cinnamon.

“The introduction of our new rum is the second success for the distillery this year, as we also recently won a further two Guild of Fine Food Great Taste Awards; a double gold star (Outstanding) award for our Damson Gin Liqueur and a single gold star (simply delicious) award for our Raspberry Gin Liqueur.

“We are proud to be a Lincolnshire company and our ethos is source as much as we can within the county and this applies to all aspects of our business from our ingredients to our design services and cardboard boxes!

“We love experimenting with flavours and hope to add more rums to our collection in the new year.”

NEWS IN BRIEF

New cloud-based Catering Cloud app helps chefs save time and money Time management is critical for chefs managing restaurant and catering kitchens alike.

From tracking food inventory and storage to monitoring food safety policies, chefs spend at least an hour a day pushing paper instead of preparing food.

That’s where Catering Cloud comes in. The webbased productivity app has been designed by chefs for chefs, filling a technology void in the catering industry.

Sam Owen is the owner and chef at Salted Orange Food Co., an award-winning catering company in Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Nottinghamshire. The idea for the new app came as Owen, who has been a chef for 15 years, wanted to automate the time he and his chefs spend tracking and monitoring food.

He said: “We lose so much food prep time when

we have to stop and deal with the paper side of the kitchen, like tracking food inventory and monitoring storage. By putting the information at our fingertips in the cloud, we are saving time and money, and we have really reduced our stress levels.”

That’s why Owen developed Catering Cloud. The app takes the risk out of food management by letting chefs instantly track everything in real time. Chefs who use the app have accurate, up-to-theminute recordkeeping, which not only speeds up kitchen productivity, but also virtually

eliminates the chance of being fined for improper paperwork and record keeping.

Catering Cloud is available on a subscription basis for £120 annually. Chefs and catering managers can download the new app for a free, 30-day trial at cateringcloud.co.uk.

Well Vale among the Great Taste winners 2018!

Well Vale, based in Alford, are pleased to announce that they are among the recipients of the Great Taste Awards 2018.

They received a 2-star award for their sausage rolls, which means judges dubbed them above and beyond delicious and a 1-star award for their Lincolnshire sausages, which means that they delivered fantastic taste, according to the judges.

Kitty Hamilton, director, explains: “We are over the moon with these awards, which reflect the skill and dedication of our staff in creating

A Lincolnshire Life Magazine publication

PAGE 36.indd 2

fantastic products from high quality Lincolnshire meat. Our sausage rolls were judged to be in the top two in the entire country and our sausages were one of only two Lincolnshire sausages to receive an award. These are two of our top selling products, both in the shop and to wholesale customers, and the judges agreed with our customers that they are really delicious.”

Judged by over 500 of the most demanding palates, Great Taste is widely acknowledged as the most respected food accreditation scheme for artisan and speciality food

producers. As well as a badge of honour, the unmistakeable black and gold Great Taste label is a signpost to a wonderful tasting product, which has been discovered through hours and hours of blind-tasting by hundreds of judges.

Recognised as a stamp of excellence among consumers and retailers alike, Great Taste values taste above all else, with no regard for branding and packaging. There were 12,634 entries for Great Taste this year and of all the products, 192 have been awarded a 3-star, 1,207 received a 2-star and 3,254 were awarded a 1-star accolade.

COLIN MCGURRAN

From field to fork For our Autumn issue Katrina Burrill visited Lincolnshire’s only Michelin starred restaurant, Winteringham Fields, to taste some of the seasonal delights chef Colin McGurran is creating.

WINTERINGHAM FIELDS

CHOCOLATE DELICE

SAUSAGE ROLL WITH A FRUITY BROWN SAUCE

I am very lucky to be able to travel around the county visiting the many restaurants and pubs Lincolnshire has to offer. I get to sample a wealth of local produce, which forms the basis of outstanding menus, and I knew a trip to Winteringham Fields would offer all this and so much more.

Colin McGurran and his wife Bex have owned the restaurant with rooms since 2005. Whilst taking over a restaurant with such a high reputation might be daunting to most, Colin spent a year shadowing previous owners Germain and Annie Schwab and their head chef Robert Thompson to learn all about the business.

Since then, Colin has taken the restaurant from strength to strength earning many accolades and awards on the way, and after many years of hard work they have now been awarded a

coveted Michelin Star in the 2019 Michelin Guide.

“We are very lucky with where the restaurant is. We own about eight acres of land, where we grow our own fruit and vegetables, and rear our own sheep, pigs and chickens. My philosophy is to get my staff involved in the farm as much as possible. The more they are able to be handson, the more creative and passionate they are when it comes to creating the menus,” said Colin.

“We also work closely with village farmers and smallholders, who we buy vegetables and meat from.

We are extremely lucky to have such a great relationship with our neighbours.

“Our menu changes daily and it all depends on what is good on that day. If we go out to the farm and the cauliflowers are the best that day, then that is what we

A Lincolnshire Life Magazine publication

PAGE 37-39.indd 2

include on the menu. The fish comes in throughout the day as it is caught.

We’re very proud of our one-mile menu, meaning if we can’t grow or rear it ourselves then we aim to use produce from as close to the restaurant as possible.”

My guest and I visited on an unusually warm October day, and we were met in the car park by the maître d’ who showed us to one of the reception rooms.

Service throughout our visit was seamless yet relaxed.

After being offered drinks our waitress came with canapés for us to sample which certainly heightened our anticipation for the rest of the meal.

The restaurant is cosy, yet offers privacy for all guests. It is tastefully decorated with added touches, including a useful stool for handbags. We had opted for the Tasting Menu,

allowing us to get a real sense of the creativity Colin and his team have.

Our first course was sea trout, served with a ponzu gel and trout roe. I tend to choose fish over meat, but I am not normally a fan of cured fish – however, this dish was stunning. The trout roe burst in the mouth giving a salty flavour which worked perfectly with the cured meat and the ponzu gel added a sharp, citrus taste to the dish – and the trout was perfectly textured.

Our next course was a slow poached egg, celeriac purée, chicken broth and Morteau sausage topped with pork crackling. The egg is poached for 1 hour and 20 minutes at 63 degrees, which left a perfectly soft centre.

Sat on a bed of celeriac purée with the chicken broth and the crunch of the sausage and crackling, the flavours were rich and

warm. I think if I had seen this dish on a menu I might have chosen something else, as an egg served in a broth with a crispy coating isn’t something that would automatically be top of my list, but I think out of all the dishes this was possibly my favourite. When the egg splits bringing the yolk into the mix, another level of flavour is reached, a heavenly combination that I had never tasted before. I would happily eat this every day.

Next we moved on to the fish course, which was mackerel served with a kohlrabi cannelloni and nori dressing. The mackerel had only been caught an hour before being served and the freshness was evident throughout. The fish flaked perfectly and had a beautifully crisp skin.

Kohlrabi is a vegetable I had heard of (part of the cabbage family) but had never tasted. Served as a cannelloni sheet it was filled with a mackerel pâté.

The next dish was the meat course, using homereared produce. We were served a lamb rump, roast belly, baby gem, goat’s curd and mint. By this point I was running out of adjectives to explain to the staff how wonderful it all tasted. My highlight of the menu was the rump of lamb, perfectly pink, melt in the mouth and with just a touch of the goat’s curd and mint – again flavours I would have never experienced, the dish was just exquisite.

Then came our pre-dessert, a new concept for my guest.

The presentation hid the true delight of this dish which was the coconut sorbet. Served with a lime sauce, white

39

chocolate and topped in a crisp meringue this was the perfect palate cleanser.

Our dessert course was next, and the final on the six-course tasting menu; a chocolate delice served with a brown bread ice cream.

The chocolate mousse was creamy and firm at the same time. Served on a peanut butter biscuit base with a chocolate glaze, it was divine. The brown bread ice cream was flavoursome and textured, and a lovely complement to the delice.

Although we were pleasantly full, we did decide to try a selection from the cheese board, to round off what was a perfect meal.

I hadn’t had the pleasure of visiting Winteringham Fields before and I can see the Michelin star is well deserved! I will definitely be returning with my husband, to sample their evening menu and stay in one of their wonderful rooms.

Remove the beef from the fridge 30 minutes before you want to

cook it, to let it come up to room temperature.

Wash and roughly chop the vegetables. Break the garlic bulb into cloves, leaving them unpeeled.

Pile all the veg, garlic and herbs into the middle of a large roasting tray and drizzle with oil.

Drizzle the beef with oil and season well with salt and pepper and rub all over the meat. Place the beef on top of the vegetables.

Place the tray in the oven, then

turn the heat down immediately to 200C/400F/gas mark 6 and cook for 1 hour for medium beef. If you prefer it medium-rare, take it out 5 to 10 min earlier. For well done, leave it in for another 10 to 15 min.

Baste the beef halfway through.

When the beef is cooked to your liking, take the tray out of the oven and transfer the beef to a board to rest for 15 min or so. Cover it with a layer of tin foil and a tea towel and leave aside while you make your accompanying dishes.

Meanwhile, in a large pan, melt some butter and olive oil and sauté the onions, carrots, potatoes and celery until they are soft, adding some fresh herbs and seasoning about halfway through – this should take about 10 min on a gentle heat, then tip in the roasted pumpkin, cover with stock and let it simmer for about 15 to 20 min. Turn off the heat and let the soup cool for about 10 min before you blitz with a hand blender.

RECIPES – WINTER WARMERS

Raspberry crème brûlée INGREDIENTS: 200g raspberries and some extra for decorating 500ml double cream 1 vanilla pod 100g caster sugar 6 Fairburn’s British Blue egg yolks Extra caster sugar for the caramel topping Mint leaves for decoration Preheat the oven to 150C/gas mark 2 METHOD: Put 6 ovenproof ramekins in a baking tin and divide the raspberries between them.

Pour the cream into a small, heavy-based pan and slit the vanilla pod in half lengthways. Scrape out the seeds and put the pod and the seeds into the pan with the cream. Bring to the boil over a medium-low heat.

Meanwhile, put the yolks and caster sugar into a medium-sized heatproof bowl and beat them together till pale and fluffy.

When the cream begins to boil, remove the vanilla pod and then pour the cream onto the yolk and sugar mix, stirring constantly to mix.

Divide the mixture between the 6 ramekins and pour cold water into the tin until it comes two-thirds of the way up the ramekins.

Bake for about 35 to 40 min until the custard is set – it should only wobble slightly in the middle when shaken.

Cool and then chill until cold.

When you are ready to serve, scatter the tops of the cold crème brûlées with 1tsp of caster sugar, and use a blowtorch or hot grill to caramelise the tops – if using a grill, you will need to put them back in the fridge for half an hour before serving to cool down again. Top each ramekin with a fresh raspberry and a mint leaf.
