Press release - Park Plaza

After trialling eight traditional dishes over 14 days, Park Plaza County Hall found that guests were more likely to crave home-cooked meals on a Thursday.

In light of the results, the London hotel will introduce the eight dishes permanently on Thursdays in 2012. Nearly 33% off all orders taken over the two-week period were taken on the two Thursdays, with beef stew and dumplings and lamb shanks being the most popular of eight dishes.

Sausage, mash and onion gravy, shepherd’s pie, sausage casserole, fisherman’s pie and lamb shank are all included in the limited edition menu; guests are sure to find a hearty treat for the great value price of £8.95 per dish.

“We were surprised to see such a jump in orders on a Thursday, but we are delighted to be able to offer something different to guests and have decided to introduce the menu as a permanent Thursday feature so hotel guests and Londoners can enjoy more traditional dishes,” said Simon Mahon, Park Plaza County Hall’s General Manager.

Available each Thursday in Park Plaza County Hall’s in-hotel restaurant, Spectrum, the menu will run from 5:30pm until 10:30pm. Spectrum is located on the mezzanine level of Park Plaza County Hall and offers mouth-watering creations with a British contemporary twist. The normal seasonal menu will be available in addition to the ‘like mum used to make’ dishes.

Park Plaza County Hall is located at 1 Addington St, London SE1 7RY. For reservations and further information visit www.parkplaza.com/countyhall or call 0207 021 1810.
