The Caterer has revealed the shortlist for the 2023 Catey awards, which celebrate their 40th anniversary this year.

 

In a milestone year for the biggest awards of their kind in the hospitality industry, the internationally renowned Cateys will recognise the strongest performers, latest emerging brands and highest flyers in the sector, as determined by the industry itself.

 

More than 100 judges, chosen for their expertise and industry knowledge, and past success as Catey winners themselves, met this 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 JW Marriott Grosvenor House London.
