Top chef and former Huddersfield restaurateur Barrington Douglas is back in the kitchen and he’s cooking up a new business venture. Barrington, 55, who owned popular Caribbean restaurant Discovery Bay in Huddersfield for 12 years, is bringing his artisan patties and secret-recipe sauces back, better than ever.
Barrington makes an artisan Jamaican curried patty, a twist on a Cornish pastie. The original recipe is based on his mums, from back home in Jamaica, but over the last 10 years Barrington has refined and perfected it.
“It’s a short crust pastry filled with a choice of fillings – beef, chicken or vegan. The filling is flavoured with curry powder, black pepper, scotch bonnet pepper, garlic and thyme and a few more secret ingredients. It’s my own unique recipe. It also has a flavoured pastry so it’s not just your ordinary pastry which is just butter, flour, and water. It’s something special that you won’t have tasted before.”
