Winteringham Fields

★ Michelin££££Modern Cuisine

This 16th-century former farmhouse sits in a sleepy village close to the Humber Estuary. It’s an area rich in agriculture, so it’s no surprise to find local ingredients to the fore on the surprise tasting menu, be they from regional producers, nearby farms or the long-standing owners’ smallholding where they rear animals and grow veg. The chef's personality shines through in the full-flavoured dishes, from nods to his Yorkshire roots to refined takes on his favourite foods, like chicken tacos and lamb kebab. Sumptuous bedrooms mix classic character with modern comforts.

Restaurant DOM

£££Modern Cuisine

Slawomir Mikolajczyk from The Hope & Anchor in South Ferriby has given this town centre spot a top-to-toe refurbishment and it’s a place you’ll quickly fall in love with. The smart, wood-clad interior features shelves bursting with jam, pickles and preserves; in winter you’ll likely find some in your meal, such as pear and beetroot chutney with creamy duck liver parfait. The cooking as a whole is overtly seasonal and strives for a nose-to-tail approach, while Mikolajczyk’s Polish heritage comes into play too, including his grandmother’s sauerkraut recipe.

Hope & Anchor

££Traditional British

Don’t be put off by its location next to the cement works, as this rustic, nautically themed pub with Humber views is definitely worth the visit. Carefully prepared British dishes display touches of originality and are full of flavour, with top quality ingredients leading the way and fruit and veg from their own smallholding. Meats are aged in a glass-fronted drying cabinet and cooked in the Josper oven; some are designed for sharing and they even offer Wagyu. Bedrooms are modern and some have estuary views.
