Acorns Alumni event to celebrate 35 years of The Caterer's Acorn Awards

South Lodge hotel in Horsham is hosting an Acorn Alumni event to celebrate 35 years of The Caterer’s Acorn Awards.

The event will allow past Acorn Award winners to catch up with their peers, with members of The Caterer team and some of the Acorn judges at a dinner on Monday 19 July.

Past winners can join their colleagues just for dinner or take full advantage of a special Acorn winner's rate and enjoy dinner, bed and breakfast and use of South Lodge’s award-winning spa facilities.

David Connell, general manager at South Lodge, said: “We are delighted to be able to host the very first Acorn Awards Alumni event at South Lodge hotel on 19 July. After what has been a tumultuous 18 months for the world as a whole and our industry, it is a great opportunity to be able to welcome former winners to socialise and network with their fellow award recipients and to see where they all are now in their careers.

“This year marks the 35th year of the awards, meaning there now more than 1,000 members of this very exclusive club. Join us for a relaxed and informal evening to enjoy a delicious barbecue, wines and drinks within the 93 acres of the South Lodge estate. The special overnight rate includes dinner, wines, breakfast and access to our spa facilities until 2pm the following day.”

There are a limited number of rooms left, so if you are an Acorn winner and interested in attending, please email Jade Bayley.
