There are few people in the world that love Yorkshire quite like our Editor in Chief, Laura Bartlett. The only thing that she loves more is her family, which is why she decided to take them to The View restaurant at The Coniston Hotel Country Estate and Spa to get a little taste of love with their new ‘Steak Night’ menu…
It’s wild to me that we live in a world where we need one day of the year to be dedicated to showing people that we love them. Whilst I’m all for Valentine’s Day being an opportunity for additional romance, I believe that love should be expressed freely, 365 days a year, or 366 since were in a leap year.
Fortunately, The Coniston Hotel Country Estate and Spa shares the same sentiment because their seriously succulent Steak Night offering is available not only on Valentines Day but right up until the 18th February, what’s more loving than that?
Let me paint the scene. You’re in The View restaurant right as the sun is setting so you instantly realise why it was given that name because the views across their 1,400 acre estate are whetting your appetite and giving you a glorious sight of the Yorkshire Dales. Then, right before your eyes, the sun starts to set and the sky is ablaze with orange and red hues. Love is literally in the air.
It’s all about the foreplay when it comes to food porn, so smack your lips around one of their delectable starters. From the braised beef cheek ravioli to the sous vide fillet, there’s an array of options that are the perfect portion of pleasure for your tastebuds.
Now you’ve warmed up, it’s time to dive in to the main event. The only difficult choice you have to make is between the different cuts of steak. You’ve got 8oz rib eye, 10oz sirloin and if you fancy a bit on the side then the 6oz fillet served with torched foie gras, fondant potato and spinach is your type on paper. All of the dishes can be served with a garnish of confit tomatoes, mushrooms, mixed leaf salad and hand cut chips. But leaving room for dessert is a must! If you’re anything like me, when you see sticky toffee pudding on the menu then it’s a no brainier. Luckily, it didn’t disappoint, but I did get food envy looking at my brothers order of Granny Smiths apple crumble!
Whether you’re all about self love and enjoy dining solo (more wine for yourself, right?), or you’re in a committed relationship, or you fancy getting your girls together for Galentines or you just want to create new memories with the people you love, this menu will hit all of the right notes.
Roses might be red and violets might be blue but there’s nowhere more romantic than steak night at The View. So leave the cheesy chat up lines to me and put your focus on nabbing a table at The Coniston between 12-18 February from 6pm where the delicious menu has been lovingly curated in partnership with ‘Lee Gate Farm’, in nearby Malham, because this is a love affair you won’t want to miss.
You and your loved ones can also enjoy a complimentary bottle of house wine on them, when you buy two steaks!
