Winteringham, British, Modern Restaurant Guide

“Start in the relaxed bar with some drinks and nibbles, then progress to a chat with the head chef who explains the restaurant’s ethos (including their own allotment, where much of the produce is grown) serves your course and explains it” – this is how your meal unfolds at this well-known boutique hotel, where they have replaced brick walls with a stable door to allow kitchen and dining room to interact. It is part of a converted 16th-century manor near the south bank of the Humber and in the wilds of North Lincs’ (the only establishment in the county to hold a Michelin star). All reports say chef James Nicklin’s cuisine here is “so so good” whether you choose the ‘Elegant’ menu for £149 per person or the ‘Prestige’ version for £174 per person. There’s also an à la carte menu for £69 per person, primarily available at lunchtimes.
