The WELLINGTON is a creation of our Manchester head chef Kris Coulton.

Kris has been making beef wellingtons since he was an apprentice chef, aged 16. "It was one of the first dishes I made. It’s like opening a present – the big reveal to show the pink and juicy beef."

After school Kris became an apprentice chef at a Lake District country club. Since then he's always been a chef, working across Cumbria and once getting to cook for his hero Rick Stein.

Kris put a version of his WELLINGTON burger on the menu in Manchester as a local special in late 2020: “It’s been very popular and I’m excited to see it given a wider audience. It’s the first time a local special has gone on to be an Honest group special so this a proud moment for me...

Mid-winter is the perfect time for a WELLINGTON burger. I hope it warms the cockles of the nation!”
