Green-fingered chef sources 90% of ingredients within a two-mile radius

Written by: Admin
With discerning customers increasingly aware of the provenance of ingredients, Lincolnshire chef Colin McGurran has decided to take things into his own hands.
After establishing a small farm at the award-winning restaurant with rooms, Colin has become so passionate about the quality of ingredients and championing local producers, nearly everything served at Winteringham Fields is gathered, picked or plucked from within two miles of the restaurant itself. Chef-patron Colin McGurran explained more about the restaurant's philosophy: "Similarly to the foundations of a building, ingredients are the very essence of a faultless dish. At Winteringham Fields, nothing less than perfection will suffice and in exercising 100% control over the production and selection of our produce, this can be achieved. "From the hen's eggs we serve at breakfast, to the belly-of-pork on our famous Menu Surprise, guests will be treated to nothing but Lincolnshire's finest. Our customers have been delighted with the results. Not only are we highlighting sustainable and forgotten ingredients from the local area and championing our own producers but diners are not forced to choose from a menu which showcases imported, exotic and endangered produce."
