Georgetown at Colwick Hall Hotel

Georgetown, the restaurant at Colwick Hall Hotel, nestles in a historical building with impressive Palladian style architecture and is surrounded by over sixty acres of parkland. The glory of Lord Byron's ancestral home dates back to the times of Saxons and is now a popular venue for weddings, private dining and corporate events.

The restaurant is described as the first Malaysian one in the UK, and is appropriately decorated in shades of green, a stark contrast to the wooden furniture. Its exquisite front dining room has a stunning ceiling depicting Venus and the cherubs, while the long bar serves interesting cocktails and spirits with Chopin and Mozart playing in the background. Georgetown can accommodate up to seventy guests and also offers private dining facilities.

The theme of colonial charm extends to the kitchen which rustles up Malaysian, Chinese and Indian cuisine with aplomb. You can sample starters like prawn cocktail in vinaigrette and Thousand Island dressing or stir fried noodles cooked with chillies, chicken, prawns, spinach, cauliflower and bean sprouts.

For mains you could settle for the grand four course set meal or select your own menu.  Medallions of beef flavoured with aromatic lemon grass mild chilli and coconut milk and ikan kelapa, fillet of cod rolled in coconut, crispy fried and served with seasonal vegetables are popular options.

There are fine wines and liqueurs to complement your meal and the Singapore sling, a combination of dry gin, warm and spicy cherry, tangy lemon juice, a drop of grenadine and Benedictine floated on the ice is a much loved cocktail at Georgetown. You can also choose Palena Sauvignon blanc or Castillo de Clavijo Rioja Crianza to add charm to your dinner. You can round off your meal with a glass of dessert wine, select from the cheese platter or enjoy a tropical fruit salad with a touch of Amaretto.

Savour the Georgetown experience of sophisticated style and delicious, award winning cuisine in an exotic Malaysian setting.
