SHEFFIELD, ENGLAND, February 22, 2011 (Press-News.org) Award-winning Wakefield-born John Lyons returns to his Yorkshire roots to head up the kitchen at the luxurious Copthorne Hotel Sheffield, part of Millennium & Copthorne Hotels in UK. The recently-appointed Head Chef will oversee the hotel's 100-seat award-winning 18Fifty5 restaurant and bar and will launch his innovative menu built on a core of seasonal, locally-sourced ingredients.
With over 15 years of hospitality experience, including the Savoy in London and a year in Michelin-starred restaurants in France, the 38-year-old Head Chef has held both AA and Michelin accreditations with his dishes being described as "cutting-edge rustic" by food inspectors. Multi-award-winning John joins the hotel from the von Essen group and is now on a mission to build on the already prodigious culinary reputation of the hotel's 18Fifty5 restaurant.
John commented: "I'm delighted to return to Yorkshire, and especially to be part of the team at this superb Sheffield hotel which is fast becoming a major player within the Yorkshire gastronomic circuit. I relish pushing the boundaries, while maintaining a simplistic approach in combining the many flavours of my classically-based dishes."
Orla Watt, General Manager at the Copthorne Hotel Sheffield, remarked: "Our vision is to ensure that the restaurant here remains a leading name in the city for delivering good quality, modern menus at affordable prices.
