New Head Chef with Flair and Passion at Lake District Hotel

May 01, 2011

Nigel has set his sights on a rosette for the Borrowdale Hotel restaurant spending many years developing his skills just down the road at the Lodore Falls Hotel under the tutelage of Head Chef Mike Ward.

"It is very rewarding to see someone progress so well." Comments Kit Graves, Managing Director of Lake District Hotels Ltd.

Nigel has developed a real passion for traditional English dishes with a creative twist, and the restaurant's famous carving trolley, local cheeseboard and unique silver service are still key favourites. Hosting the prestigious Cumbria Life Dining Club last month Nigel excelled and local celebrity chef John Crouch concluded "The dishes were very flavoursome because Nigel's menu let those flavours shine - everyone really enjoyed it. He is a skilled young chef with a great potential."

And keeping on with chef and foodie news from Lake District Hotels Ltd, Mike Wrad, Head Chef at th Lodore Falls Hotel has become somewhat of a radio superstar.

Head Chef Mike Ward first appeared on BBC Radio Cumbria to talk about the monthly Pudding Evenings held at the Lodore Falls Hotel. If you are a pudding lover, the second Thursday every month is just the night to have dinner in the restaurant - there are seven delicious puddings to choose from.

Following his first appearance Mike built up quite a listener fan base and has a monthly pudding slot on the morning show. His choice of pudding is interesting and he always picks one that his audience will be able to make at home.
