The latest in my series of looking for the best Sunday roast in the East Riding.
The restaurant itself is tucked away in a lovely part of Hull near the Minster so well worth getting there a few minutes early and having a stroll around.
The greeting was great. We were 10 mins early so had a quick drink downstairs before being seated. The dining area is really nice, split into a couple of rooms and has a real nice atmosphere.
Now the food.
As the venue is above a bakery they give you some complementary sourdough and focaccia to munch whilst you decide on the menu. We had the sourdough and held back on the focaccia to have later. Spoiler, we never did as we were too full.
We toyed with the two course Sunday roast menu, but decided to skip starters and get the shared roast first and decide later if we wanted desert. Second spoiler, we didn't have desert as we were too full.
Onto the main event - The food started to arrive and then it kept coming and coming and coming and coming. The sharing roast had the lot - pork, beef and chicken with fantastic crackling. There were the obligatory huge Yorkies, roasties, pigs in blankets, veg, cauliflower cheese and, unexpectedly, beef patties and buttermilk fried chicken thighs, a whole table-full of food.
ALL of the food was fantastic. The beef was melt in the mouth, the chicken was tender, the pork was juicy, the patties and buttermilk chicken were delicious, the roasties were lovely, I could go on and on but would be writing for another 30 minutes.
The gravy was delicious and had the floating bits from the roasting pan juices that all proper gravy should have.
There was so much food that we bagged up some and took it home so not to waste it.
Then there were the staff. The main server was a joy; she was so helpful when we had questions and just a genuinely lovely person. She made you feel relaxed and really welcome.
The other staff we spoke to were also excellent. every one of them was friendly and looking to help.
I cannot recommend Hearth enough - great location, great atmosphere, great food, LOTS of food, great staff all making for a very pleasant Sunday.
