Scunthorpe, British, Modern Restaurant Guide

“If food is love, there is no better place to feel totally wined and dined!” according to fans of this converted sixteenth-century manor house, near the southern banks of the Humber. As the holder of the only Michelin star in North Lincs, it has long been a culinary beacon in this thinly provided neck of the woods and won particular praise this year for “a tasting menu that’s second to none… and the fact that you can stay over too for the perfect date!”. “Really interesting wines from some unusual locations” is another feature that attracts praise. Overall, the establishment’s ratings were dragged down a little this year by a couple of “average” or “overpriced” meals. But, in April 2023 – late in the day for feedback in our annual diners’ poll – the restaurant relaunched with ‘a new immersive experience’ that promises to be ‘like nothing you’ve experienced before’ (‘by knocking through walls and incorporating our kitchen into the restaurant itself, you can [apparently] taste, smell and fully immerse yourself in an unrivaled restaurant experience’). We’ve maintained the former ratings but they are less certain than usual at this time of change.
