Just over a week ago our getWaiter! team was sat at the Casual Dining Restaurant and Pub Awards celebrating our country’s best casual dining operators.
This thoroughly enjoyable event left us feeling nostalgic today, and so the recap of that wonderful evening.
Matt Dawson MBE presented the line up of incredibly well earned awards to our high caliber casual dining operators. Congratulations to all of the Winners and the Finalists which continued on boosting the spirit of the event throughout the night.
Chris Brazier, the Casual Dining’s Group Event Director concluded:
“Once again the sheer quality of this year’s awards entries has been outstanding and sends a strong signal that the casual dining restaurant and pub sector is getting stronger and more innovative every year”.
The Casual Dining Show
The actual Casual Dining Show was spread across two days. Each and every stand stood up to the challenge delivering eye catching innovative ideas, solutions, drinks and foods. But the exhibitors themselves didn’t only woo the audience. The line up of KeyNote Speakers present at the Show exceeded our expectations. They have all given us a tasteful outlook on the challenges within the Hospitality arena and interest grasping insight into their own business approaches.
Speaking of tasteful, the event’s other highlight was the Innovations Challenge with an amazing forty entrants this year. The successful fourteen finalists worked incredibly hard. Every minute of their effort counted right up to the pitches in front of the judging panel to secure their winnings. Our nation can only be proud of our Casual Dining Industry.
A massive thanks to the Casual Dining Team for putting up such a fantastic show. We are grateful to have had the opportunity to sponsor the Independent Casual Dining Restaurant of the Year Award. The winners of which were Jack & Alice – Well Done Guys.
