They and the menu’s broad choice of meat, fish and vegetarian dishes – including lobster served three ways - will be served to around 2000 diners during the five week duration, with plans for the restaurant to reopen within the hotel as normal once rules are relaxed.
In addition, the hotel is erecting three gazebos near its multi-award-winning Spa at Ramside, to enable its pan-Asian Fusion restaurant to also serve diners outside while Covid rules are in place.
Fusion offers a wide menu of curries, salads, bento boxes and appetisers along with ‘from the wok’ dishes, such as pad Thai, chicken with cashew nuts,Singapore vermicelli noodles and ginger beef stir fry.
