A mystery fan nominated the restaurant
The owner of a fine dining restaurant which won the crown for the best in the East Midlands at this year's Food Awards England has spoken of his surprise as he didn't even know they'd been nominated. The prestigious prize went to La Rock, just over the Derbyshire border in Sandiacre.
Chef Nick, who has run the popular restaurant in Bridge Street for 12 years, said: "We didn't do anything so I'm not sure where it came from. I have no idea. That's amazing news, I can't believe it. It's always nice to be recognised for quality and consistency and adds testament to the effort that we as a team and the hospitality industry as a whole strive to achieve every single day.
The restaurant, over two floors, serves British cuisine with a global edge in a room of green oak and black granite with antler chandeliers. Lunch, dinner, and an occasional tasting menu are served. The annual Food Awards England recognise and reward the talent and hard work of the English food industry, highlighting the best restaurants, takeaways, pubs, cafes, and producers. Nottingham-based BOHNS Best Burgers won best burger bar in England for the second year in a row.
