The team at Hunmanby-based Wold Top have collaborated with local chefs, colleagues, and friends to develop 16 beer-inspired recipes. These include Marmalade Porter and black onion seed bread, Scarborough Fair IPA cured mackerel, and Hello Velo beer and malt doughnuts.
Contributors to the recipe book include:
- Michelin-starred chef James Mackenzie, from the Pipe and Glass at South Dalton
- Ben Cox, from the Star at Sancton
- Jamie Thickett, from The Hide in Pocklington
- Sarah Readman, from Nabs Nosh
- and Wold Top team members Susie Freeman, Louize Jones, and Kate Balchin.
Kate Balchin said: “We’ve been talking about printing a Wold Top Recipe Book to promote beer as an ingredient and highlight the amazing chefs we have in this area for years. But we had never got round to it. It took a global pandemic to galvanise us into action!
“Over the years, we have been fortunate to sample many plates of delicious food made with Wold Top beer and now, thanks to the generosity of local chefs and our fabulous team who made this book possible, you can recreate some of these dishes at home.”
Westway Open Arms is a Christian charity that offers drop-in services and support to local and vulnerable people in the Eastfield area of Scarborough.
