The Hummingbird Cottingham

Reviews

   Tried the Sunday lunch, the food took an age to come out, although stated due to freshly prepared (maybe need more staff for preparation?) The beef was impeccably cooked, but didn't I quite get the bread stuffing, which was primarily chunks of bread and sausage and very dry. Vegetables were kept whole nicely cooked. The bread & butter pudding also took 45 minutes to arrive (presumably cooked from scratch). Until the service improves I won't return

   If you're looking for a cozy bistro with a great atmosphere and a variety of vegetarian and vegan options, The Hummingbird in Cottingham is definitely worth checking out. My friend and I recently visited and we were blown away by the delicious food and warm hospitality of the staff. I ordered the vegan cottage pie, and my friend had the beef roast Sunday dinner. Both meals were cooked to perfection, with generous portions and great flavor. It's clear that the chefs at The Hummingbird take pride in their cooking and use only the freshest ingredients. What really stood out to us was the staff's friendliness and welcoming attitude. From the moment we stepped in the door, we felt right at home. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, making recommendations based on our dietary preferences. In addition to the fantastic food and service, we appreciated the cafe's commitment to offering a range of veggie and vegan options. It's clear that The Hummingbird is dedicated to catering to all dietary needs and preferences. Overall, our experience at The Hummingbird was fantastic, and we will definitely be returning in the future. Whether you're a meat-lover or a veggie enthusiast, this cafe has something for everyone. Highly recommended!

   We were lucky enough to get a table for the Sunday Lunch. The food was outrageously good - perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned and generous portions. We have been a few times now and have tried multiple things on the menu. Each time we have been delighted. The coffee is especially delicious! Staff are lovely and I am really rooting for this place. Eat local! Also - we were given some parkin to sample and I absolutely think it should be a staple dessert, or perhaps in small bites with a hot drink. Lovely gem of a place. We look forward to returning!

   I came here for Sunday lunch today. Usually I'm not moved to write such gushing reviews about a place, but I think everybody has a right to know how great it is!! Right, where do I start? Well the coffee was gorgeous, so much so that I had three and ended up with a caffeine high that sent me flitting around like an actual hummingbird. The waitresses who served us were so friendly and made sure we didn't want for anything during our meal. Then there's the food - literally the best I've had in this neck of the woods (and beyond!). I had the pork rillettes to start. I had no idea what it was, but ordered it anyway because I was feeling fancy. It lived up to its fanciness and was presented beautifully like a piece of art. Then I had the sirloin; full of flavour and cooked to perfection. I could have drunk a mug of the bone marrow and garlic emulsion that it came with. The shared sides and Yorkshire puds that came with the main were to die for. I honestly wish I had a bigger stomach so I could've finished eating everything. To top it off, the chef (he looks a little like a Northern Khal Drogo) came out and asked everyone how their meals were. I thought this was such a lovely touch as you usually don't get to see the master behind the food! Overall I give this place 6 stars and will definitely stop by next time I'm in the area.

   The choice of Sunday roasts is as good as anywhere. The meals are beautifully and inventively presented with no shortage of flavour. Staff are friendly and accommodating.

   We have popped for dessert and drinks while we wait to join my son's friend birthday party, food it was good and reasonable price. Good atmosphere, lovely wall painting, it make you feel like sit in the garden. Staffs were friendly and helpful.

   So we have lived in Kirk Ella and East Riding for less than a year so we are discovering places to eat all the time. After swimming on a Sunday morning we went to Cottingham for something to eat. Saw this place so in we went. A good choice. Went for brunch. Decent menu with choices for Vegetarian/Vegan and Meatatarians. Nice coffee. Clean plates at the end. My son was with us and you can tell if it was good if he leaves a cash tip for staff. He left a decent tip. This is because he was in hospitality for many years as a chef and knows what good food and service is. Two photographs are I think one on left Mexican eggs. Right mushroom fricasse I believe. I'm sure the cafe will correct me. Children can have smaller versions of menu. They made our grandaughter a sausage "butty" which she loved.
