REVIEW
For the already impressive Ten Minutes by Tractor, 2017 was a year of deep investment - and exquisite return. The decade-old dining room, reopened in April in sleek, urbane style: a vision in Japanese marble and heather-grey velvet. The upgrade is everywhere, from service through to Zalto glassware that does justice to the 88-page, Old-World-heavy wine list. Stuart Bell's cooking, equal in ambition and execution, marries European technique to local produce. Pan-fried sweetbreads are wonderfully autumnal paired with chestnuts, grilled baby leeks and a jumble of mushrooms. Roasted venison loin with parsnips evokes a similar feel, sharpened by a purée of quandong and a pepper berry jus. You could argue that desserts, like a chocolate pavé with a beetroot and crème fraîche ice-cream, are more complex than pleasurable but, overall, the new Ten Minutes by Tractor exhibits both those qualities in a beautifully assured fashion.
