MIDLOTHIAN’S Howgate Restaurant & Bistro flew the flag for Scotland at a major awards ceremony in Manchester last month.
The business was named Best Scotland Restaurant at the Hi-Life Dining Awards, held in The Midland Hotel and hosted by TV personality Paul Ross.
A host of celebrities presented awards to 13 chefs and restaurants in the UK and Ireland, and £10,000 was raised for the Five Stars Appeal, the children’s cancer charity.
The awards are nominated and voted for by the eating out public.
