ETB nods for Stein and Conran
The English Tourist Board is to reward Rick Stein and Sir Terence Conran for their efforts for the tourism industry.
The Outstanding Contribution prizes will be presented at the ETB's 10th annual England for Excellence Awards ceremony at London's Millennium Conference Centre on 5 November.
Elaine Noble, operations director of the ETB, said: "The quality of restaurants was one of the key issues we looked at when considering who should receive the awards."
Stein and his wife Jill run the Seafood Restaurant in Padstow, Cornwall, which has grown over the past 24 years into one of the country's best known restaurants.
