Copthorne Sheffield Scoops Top Restaurant Award
The city’s newest four star hotel has scooped a coveted award for its 1855 Restaurant, at a glitzy awards ceremony held at Sheffield’s Cutler’s Hall.
The Copthorne Sheffield took home the award for best ‘Modern European Restaurant’ for its AA rosetted restaurant, 1855, at the city’s eatSheffield awards – and was also one of three finalists in the Best Newcomer category.
Orla Watt, general manager of the Copthorne Hotel, Sheffield, commented: “We are thrilled to have received the award for the best Modern European Restaurant. Our vision is to make the restaurant here a leading name in the city for delivering good quality, modern menus at affordable prices.
“The eatSheffield Restaurant Awards recognise, celebrate and reward the very best restaurants in and around Sheffield. It’s great we are a part of that and have been honoured for our excellent quality of food and service so soon after opening our doors earlier this year. “
Celebrating winning the award was the Copthorne’s Michelin starred chef, Daniel James, who is soon to be leaving the hotel to move back to South Wales to be closer to his family.
“We will be appointing Daniel’s replacement shortly and are looking forward to our new Head Chef carrying on the excellent work that Daniel has started,†added Orla.
The annual eatSheffield awards acknowledge the successes of some of the city’s best and favourite establishments. The winners are those who have demonstrated excellence within their category and proved their dedication to raising industry standards.
Professor Christine Booth, Pro Vice-Chancellor of Sheffield Business School, commented: “Well done to Sheffield’s Copthorne Hotel! These awards represent the best in dining out in the city, as voted for by the people of Sheffield. That makes them all the more meaningful and special.
“I’d like to thank everyone who voted in this year’s eatSheffield awards, for giving us an accurate view of dining out in the city.”
