The award

Recognition for the whole business.

Restaurant of the Year recognises the owners, managers, chefs and front-of-house teams whose collective work creates an outstanding hospitality experience. It celebrates the full operation: what reaches the table, how guests are welcomed, how standards are sustained and what the business contributes locally.
