Hotel chefs get a menu masterclass

Teams from six top Cumbrian hotels have been served up a masterclass in award-winning food.

As part of developing the quality of the menus and food in their hotels, the Lake District Hotel Group recently commissioned an AA Rosette Academy to be held at the Lodore Falls Hotel in Borrowdale.

Teams from all six of the company’s hotels took part.

LDH director Kit Graves organised the event and explained: “It was quite innovative to bring the AA Rosette Academy to us and we included as many key staff as possible, not just our Head Chef’s.

“With 22 staff at the training, I believe we are the largest group the Academy has visited in the Lake District – highlighting our commitment to training and producing great restaurant food.”

Mike Ward, head chef at the Lodore Falls Hotel, said: “It was a very inspiring day and gave an insight to what they are looking for to achieve rosette standards.”

The Lake District Hotel group includes The Inn on the Lake at Glenridding, The George Hotel at Penrith, The Skiddaw Hotel and the Kings Arms in Keswick, plus The Lodore Falls Hotels and the Borrowdale Hotel in Borrowdale.
