The award-winning Mizu Pan-Asian Restaurant, which is located at the Lodore Falls Hotel & Spa, is shooting for the stars yet again as the restaurant has now been shortlisted as a finalist for ‘Best Restaurant in England’ in the national 2022 Golden Chopsticks Awards hosted by Gok Wan and judged by Ken Hom.

The Lake District restaurant is just one of three finalists for this category, beating hundreds of other national pan-Asian restaurants to the shortlist, with the announcement occurring just three years after Mizu won ‘Best Newcomer’ in the 2019 Golden Chopsticks Awards.

The Golden Chopsticks Awards which were co-founded by Gok Wan MBE in 2018 is one of the largest and most prestigious celebrations of Oriental food in the country; recognising the excellence of East & South East Asian Restaurants throughout the UK.

“Thank you to all our fantastic customers and loyal fans who voted for us over the past 8 weeks!” said Dani Hope, Director of Lake District Hotels. “The support has been tremendous and we are thrilled to get such positive news right at the time where we are launching our exotic, new menu which we have spent months developing. We are especially proud of the finished product.”

The brand-new Mizu menu, which went live on Wednesday 6^th July, sees the introduction of over 35 new Asian dishes and has been met with critical acclaim by visitors. A high demand in bookings has been recorded with both hotel residents and non-residents wanting to sample some of the much-anticipated new flavours.

Voting for this year’s Golden Chopsticks Awards opened up to the general public on the 2^nd May and closed after 8 weeks of voting which revealed Mizu as one of the most popular restaurants in the whole of the UK. Other restaurants shortlisted for the award include Wun’s Tea Room in London and Mr Lau’s Dim Sum Bar located in Warrington.

The Mizu team will find out if they are taking home the title of ‘Best Restaurant in England’ on Monday 26^th September at The London Marriott Hotel at a sparkling awards-ceremony that is guaranteed to attract celebrities and world-renowned chefs as seen in previous years.

Mizu initially opened its doors in 2018 which was developed as part of a £13 million investment at the Lodore Falls Hotel & Spa. The Pan-Asian restaurant is open 7-days a week from 12-2pm for lunch and 5:30-9:30pm for evening meals.
