Imagine
an elegant friendly hotel and
restaurant set in peaceful gardens.
Go one step further and imagine
friendly staff that really cares
about the quality and presentation
of the food they serve.
Take another step and you find
excellent starters and main courses. Then
imagine a restaurant where not only do
desserts look so good that diners frequently
photograph their puddings but where the
attention to detail is only matched by the
sharp and rich flavours of lemon tarts and
chocolate roulades. I’ll share my secret
with you so you can experience all of this
for yourself; visit The Old Mill at
Langtoft.
There’s something
magical and evocative about eating seasonal
food. Crab salad never tastes as good as
when it is eaten fresh on warm summer days.
Mushrooms always remind me of autumn and I
only enjoy parsnips in late autumn and
winter. The best and tastiest English lamb
arrives in autumn and works perfectly when
followed by late plump Scottish raspberries
or simple apple pie made with Bramley
apples.
Old Mill starters
include
Home made chicken liver
Paté served
with cranberry compote and a stack of Melba
toast. Pan seared
King
Scallops served on a bed

crispy pancetta.

Eton mess made with raspberries and a

which is sharp and tangy with a crisp light
pastry, perfectly accompanied with Cream of the Wolds
vanilla ice cream. Indulge in a trio
of Cream of the Wolds vanilla, strawberry
and chocolate. Don’t forget to try the
cheese board and choose from a selection of
eight liqueur coffees to warm an autumn
evening. Flavours include Irish made with
Jameson's whiskey, Italian made with Sambuca
and Mexican made with Tequila.

The restaurant has
recently been refurbished as have the nine
bedrooms. When we visited all the elegant
en-suite rooms were occupied and judging by
the quiet efficiency of the staff I would
expect a stay at The Old Mill to be a
delightful experience. The tranquil setting
of this former farm house and corn mill on
The Yorkshire Wolds is perfect for
anyone wanting to
walk, cycle,
bird watch or drive in the undiscovered
and peaceful East Yorkshire Wolds. Use the
Old Mill as a base to visit
Beverley for shopping and the Minster,
York for the Minster and
Yorvik museum, the beaches at Scarborough and Filey
and the
NorthYorkshire Moors (Heartbeat
country). Not to be missed is a day out at
the races atBeverley and
York and the beautiful country houses of
East Yorkshire,
Burton Agnes,
Burton Constable and
Wassand Hall.
