Cateys 2019: the 12 best Menuwatch entries revealed ahead of judging
The complete set of restaurants to be judged for The Caterer's 2019 Menu of the Year Catey, sponsored by Teflon, has been revealed.
The 12 restaurants that will go forward to the judging made the cut after appearing in The Caterer's Menuwatch feature between May 2018 and April 2019. They are:
