Georgetown Restaurants have built up a formidable reputation since Raffles first opened in Kenilworth ten years ago, so that they are now famous for their sophisticated style, delicious award winning cuisine in exotic Malaysian settings. Georgetown is reminiscent of its colonial namesake, now known as Penang in Malaysia. The irony is, of course, that they hark back to the 18th and 19th centuries when the British Empire was still growing - Georgetown Restaurants are so-called because Britain's first settlement in Malaya in 1787, founded by Sir Francis Light, was given the name in honour of the then King, George III. Georgetown is a premier restaurant brand of Pearl Hotels and Restaurants Group. You can enjoy the Georgetown experience in Nottingham, London, Leeds, Kenilworth and Stratford-Upon-Avon.
