Cateys 2018 shortlist revealed
The shortlist for the 35th Catey Awards has been revealed after judges met to debate hundreds of entries at London's Dorchester hotel last week.
The biggest awards of their kind in the hospitality industry, the internationally renowned Cateys, presented by The Caterer in partnership with Bunzl Catering and Hospitality Division, recognise the strongest performers, latest emerging brands and highest flyers in the sector, as determined by the industry itself.
Chosen for their expertise and industry knowledge, more than 100 judges met at London's Dorchester hotel for three days of intense debate to discuss the nominees and produce our shortlist.
The winners, representing British hospitality at its best, will be revealed at a glittering event on 3 July at London's Grosvenor House, A JW Marriott Hotel.
