Burnley brasserie wins global award

The Burnley brasserie, which sits next to the Woodland Spa, was presented with its award at a red-carpet event in Hanoi, Vietnam.

Andrew Brown, director of Crow Wood Leisure, said: “The event was truly fantastic and the level of competition was incredible, so we’re extremely proud to be flying the flag for Burnley and the North West and challenging people’s perceptions.

Spencer Burge, chef director, added: “It’s a tremendous achievement to win such an award after four years of trading and a true testimony to all the staff who have worked so hard." Since the £4.5m investment in Bertram’s & The Woodland Spa in 2013, Crow Wood has doubled its number of staff to over 200, the business serves 7,000 covers per month and sales of £6.2m last year.
