About
It is claimed there are more pigs than people in the East Riding, and the Peppered Pig – a new-build property in attractive rustic brick – makes the most of local porcine possibilities. So, husband and wife team Sam and Glen Mitchell have put the likes of pork and chicken terrine, and slow-cooked pork belly with cider-stewed apricots on their menu, but there’s much else besides. The weekend and Sunday lunch choice might include poached chicken with leeks and prunes, or sea bream with Bombay potatoes, followed by Yorkshire parkin with butterscotch sauce and liquorice ice cream. Midweek menus are simpler, featuring sandwiches – fish finger or hot beef and onion gravy (yes, in a sandwich) – and lighter dishes such as salmon and crab fishcakes. Overall, you’ll find elegantly presented traditional food cooked with a light touch here, making the Peppered Pig a significant find in a district needing more gastronomic representation.
