LUX Hospitality Awards 2016

http://lux.acquisition-intl.com/ 38 LUX - Hospitality Awards 2016 Best Traditional British Restaurant - Central London The Carvery & Grill at the Strand Palace Hotel has been serving delicious carvery since 1920. Having decades of experience we appreciate that our diners like to have a varied choice. All of our Chefs are well-trained and consistently produce delicious food which caters to the ever evolving tastes of our diners. Being in the heart of London’s most visited area, we know that our guests look for something authentically British and appreciate quality. It is our paramount priority to ensure that we source top quality produce and cook and serve it impeccably. We cater for couples and business people, local residents and theatre-goers. Located so close to most of London’s best theatres we see a lot of guests coming to the Carvery & Grill for a meal before they go see the show. Offering a friendly yet professional atmosphere helps to ensure guests always enjoy their visit and have a pleasant dining experience. We encourage our greeting staff to engage with our guests when they first enter the Carvery. Alongside this, we also place a great deal of emphasis on providing quality ingredients and a high standard of cooking. At the heart of a restaurant such as ours is of course the meat. We take great care in choosing and working with all of our suppliers to ensure the highest quality. We use tender Surrey Farm Premium Beef, Blythburgh Free Range Pork, and Grove Smith “English Rose” Turkey. In addition we are dedicated to catering for the ever changing tastes of our guests. We have excellent vegetarian dishes on the menu so vegetarians, who now make up 12% of the population, can enjoy them if dining out with a party of meat-lovers. In general, we have noticed that guests are also a lot more experimental these days and happy to try something new. Moving forward, whilst we are always keen to improve our standards and meet our diners’ needs, our key focus in the future will be to maintain our high quality service and continue to offer our guests the best possible dining experience. We refurbished our restaurant last year to create a very warm and comfortable ambiance and introduced grill options and daily specials to provide greater choice for our visitors, and in the future we will continue to monitor our market and assess what changes need to be made to ensure visitors to our Carvery & Grill always have a great experience. Best Traditional British Restaurant - Central London The Carvery & Grill at the Strand Palace Hotel is the perfect restaurant for a relaxing and enjoyable dining experience in the heart of London. We invited General Manager David MacRae to provide us with an insight into the fascinating history of this glorious eatery.
