Lakes Restaurant launch at the Best Western Stoke by Nayland Hotel, Golf & Spa

The Best Western Stoke by Nayland Hotel, Golf & Spa is delighted to announce the opening of its fabulous new restaurant, The Lakes, which forms part of a recent £5 million extensive refurbishment and expansion programme. Overlooking the floodlit lake and with stunning views across the picturesque golf course, the restaurant is the perfect place for relaxing with delicious food and wine, and the added benefit of a stunning Constable Country backdrop.

The interior of the Lakes Restaurant has a very stylish feel, with warm, smoked oak flooring, contemporary dark wood tables and comfortable high-backed, chocolate leather chairs. The walls are adorned with atmospheric black and white photos which capture snapshots of days gone by and local places of interest. Diners are greeted with a fresh new look which is modern and tasteful.

Executive Head Chef Nigel Taverner is very enthusiastic about the challenge, 'My whole team is really excited about this new venture at the Best Western Stoke by Nayland Hotel; the Lakes Restaurant will provide a good selection of top quality dishes - all created in our kitchens using fresh, seasonal ingredients which are, wherever possible, produced locally.' Nigel had a glittering career in London before deciding to move to Suffolk; he has catered for most of the Royal family on different occasions as well as several Prime Ministers. He has also worked with Gordon Ramsey.

For dinner at the Lakes there is always a delicious set 3 course menu offered as well as an extensive a la carte menu to suit every taste. There is also a good selection of wines from all over the world.

Traditional Sunday lunches have always been popular at the hotel and are offered in the Lakes Restaurant at £16.95 for 3 courses, coffee and mints, or 2 courses for £13.95. The cost for children under 12 is £10.50. A special lunch menu is also available every day of the week.

A new adjoining lounge bar has also just been completed featuring a central welcoming open fire place. Here you can enjoy a scrumptious full afternoon tea, including a selection of sandwiches, cakes and home-made scones with cream and jam and a pot of tea - all for just £9.95 per person.
