Ye Olde Bell’s Restaurant 1650 is set to relaunch this October with new Executive Chef, Terry Phillips at the helm.
Terry joins the award-winning Restaurant 1650 at the boutique hotel, located on the borders of Nottinghamshire, Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, having previously worked at venues such as iconic stately home, Chatsworth House and as the personal chef to Olympians during London 2012.
Restaurant 1650 currently holds an AA Rosette and Terry has re-designed the current A La Carte menu to create a 5-course elevated dining experience with a focus on key quality ingredients from local suppliers. Terry will be sourcing seafood and fish from Whitby, meat from local butchers and vegetables from the extensive farms that surround the hotel.
The new seasonal 5-course tasting menu, which will change every four weeks, will feature dishes of the likes of Roast duck breast, confit leg croquettes, braised sweat heart cabbage & cherries and Oyster with Guiness braised ox cheek & horseradish snow. A vegetarian menu will also be available and includes dishes such as Poached & roasted heritage beetroots, coconut soil, peanut & chilli miso.
Terry commented: “I am thrilled to join the team at Ye Olde Bell. I have worked at small restaurants to large hotels and even a stately home. The team at the hotel has been extremely supportive and we share the joint goal of creating a bespoke, elevated dining experience at Restaurant 1650.”
Named after the year of origin of the hotel, Restaurant 1650 features rich oak panelling and at its centre piece an Art Deco inspired bar.
