A top accolade in the recent Welsh Restaurant Awards has been won by Lotus Restaurant of Pendine.

The Asian Fusion establishment, which overlooks the seaside village’s famous stretch of beach, claimed the title of Outstanding Restaurant Of The Year.

The success comes hot on the heels of the Lotus’s success in the Welsh Asian Food Awards, where it was named best Asian fusion restaurant and best Malayan restaurant.

Kim Chin and Greg Durban from Lotus Restaurant said: "We are very thankful to our customers and our Lotus team.

"We created Lotus five years ago to offer delicious Chinese Asian fusion cuisine in a relaxed setting overlooking Pendine Sands with stunning sea views.
