Georgetown Restaurant Nottingham (Colwick Hall)

Although only a mere 10-minutes drive from the city centre, The Georgetown Restaurant in Nottingham, feels like a world away from the busy urban streets. Located in the fabulous Colwick Hall Hotel, this restaurant definitely has the wow factor. As the former ancestral home of Lord Byron, history is everywhere in this spacious and elegant venue. Surrounded by 60 acres of woodland and country hills, there is plenty to keep guests entertained. The Georgetown Restaurant will unquestionably make any meal an extra-ordinary experience and is perfect for a romantic get away or celebration with family or friends. The highly skilled kitchen team has created an outstanding menu that showcases the very best in Thai, Malaysian, Mandarin and Tamil cuisines. The innovative menu also boasts a few modern British culinary twists to keep lovers of fine food on their toes!

There are many different menus to choose from including a lunch, festive and Sunday lunch menu. The special children’s menu has been carefully considered to keep the little ones happy while the afternoon tea menu is a playful treat for the adults. Like many Malaysian restaurants in Nottingham the a la carte menu has a wide variety of delicacies to tempt and tantalize the taste buds. With plenty of old favourites such as chargrilled chicken satay with peanut sauce or the laksa lemak spiced noodle soup with chicken, prawns and beansprouts, your meal is sure to get off to a fine start! Diners may opt for something a little different such as the peppered chicken with fresh mango and iceberg lettuce or the baked ham and spring onion terrine with piccalilli. A popular choice is the succulent murtabek minced beef wrapped in soft pastry and toasted on a griddle.

The mains are no less exciting and guests can choose to indulge in more British inspired fayre such as the seared scallops on a crab and leek potato cake with a lime and caper butter sauce or the flavourful roasted spatchcock chicken marinated in garlic and rosemary. As with many restaurants in Nottingham beef is a poplar menu choice. At Georgetown guests can enjoy their favourite meat in a variety of ways from the rending daging medallions of beef in a rich and aromatic sauce or the juicy 10oz sirloin steak served with hearty handcut chips, beer battered onion rings and accompanied by the special sauce of the day. The udang tempura of crispy fried king prawns is always a winner while the breast of chicken gently cooked in a mild curry and served on a bed of rice is moist and aromatic.  Finish your meal with a rhubarb and raspberry crumble with crème anglaise or the vanilla cheesecake with peach coulis. A large specials board will list seasonal favourites and deals of the day, while special set course menus are also available.
