About
Operating with the School of Hospitality and Tourism Management, Lakeside prides itself on producing seasonally influenced dishes, fresh to order. We provide a blend of classic cuisine with modern innovations that incorporate flavours from around the globe.
Great food
Changing the menu on a seasonal basis, Head Chef David Hill works tirelessly to source the best local produce at the right time and price, giving our customers a top-end dining experience of unrivaled value.
Producing the future of hospitality today
Far from just being a restaurant the Lakeside provides an ideal training environment for our students. During the semester time our students, under the expert guidance of the Lakeside professional team, prepare, produce, and serve a set menu and finish in May by creating a themed menu and drink.
Something special
The Lakeside offers great versatility to suit whatever the occasion. With our dedicated Lakeside Management team on hand to tailor the event to your every requirement. Phone or email to save your date!
