The London Hilton on Park Lane

Newsbites: Some stories you might have missed

19th October 2007, 10:54am

The London Hilton on Park Lane has won England's Leading Business Hotel at the World Travel Awards 2007, making it the third title taken by the venue this year.

Covering 453 luxury rooms and suites, the hotel has undergone some changes in the last 18 months including two new restaurants and specially-designed luxury suites. General Manager Michael Shepherd said: We constantly strive to provide an exemplary service and unforgettable experience and these accolades are a great credit to our team."
 
Madrasi, an Indian restaurant in Gateshead has added slow roasted leg of lamb to their menu after an American businessman asked for a dish that would impress some clients. Owner Forhad Hussain explained why the lamb had been added to the menu: "I suggested slow roasted lamb and it went down incredibly well. We have always offered lamb shanks at Madrasi but this is something very different and is ideal for an occasion or celebration."
 
Salmon has come top beating cod to take the 'Most Popular Fish' crown. Nobilo Wines in conjunction with National Seafood Week surveyed 4,000 people and 65% of us eating more fish to be healthy. Salmon, prawns and even lobster are being eaten more regularly with 62% of respondents saying they eat a wider selection of fish than five years ago. The five most popular types of fish were salmon, cod, prawns, tuna and in fifth place haddock.
 
Sake producers have showcased their products from Akita, Japan at The Restaurant Show, Earls Court. Visitors to the show were encouraged to sample eight different types of sake alongside pickles, natural rice crackers and other local crafts. Ngaire Takano who specialises in sourcing Japanese organic and natural sake said: "More awareness and education relating to sake needs to be done before it becomes a well known drink."
