“I am honoured to be shortlisted for such a prestigious award that is so highly respected within the industry. It is a privilege to be recognised alongside other highly accomplished chefs. The team and I work very hard to provide excellent service and expert dishes to our guests. I am honoured to see that dedication and hard work recognised”

As well as being recognised for his hard work and dedication, Chef Bates has also been instrumental in implementing two new menus at The Belfry, which appeal to a range of diners and ensure all customers have a memorable dining experience. The delicious new additions continue to position The Belfry Hotel & Resort as a top dining destination at the heart of the country.
The Belfry’s AA Rosette signature The Ryder Grill is offering a new seasonal a la carte menu designed to appeal to an array of palettes. Additionally, the stylish and elegant Brabazon Bar offers a taste of the Mediterranean with its new tapas menu, complimented with signature cocktails and the Live Lounge Night on the second and last Friday of every month.
