Cateys 2017 shortlist revealed
The Caterer has revealed the shortlist for the 34th Catey Awards. The biggest awards of their kind in the hospitality industry, the internationally renowned Cateys recognise the strongest performers, latest emerging brands and highest flyers in the sector, as determined by the industry itself.
More than 140 judges, chosen for their expertise and industry knowledge, and past success as Catey winners themselves, met at London's Dorchester hotel last week 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 4 July at London's Grosvenor House, A JW Marriott Hotel.
