Four restaurants shortlisted for 2019 Menu of the Year Catey

Four restaurants have been shortlisted for the 2019 Menu of the Year Catey, sponsored by Teflon non-stick coatings, after a judging session which took place at the Grosvenor House, a JW Marriott hotel, last week.

The shortlisted restaurants are:

Clenaghans, County Armagh

Flitch of Bacon, Essex

Inver, Argyll & Bute

Old Downton Lodge, Ludlow

Nominees were selected from all the menus featured on the Menuwatch page of the Chef section of The Caterer over the past 12 months, and were judged on innovation within the price bracket of that particular establishment or contract; good use of seasonal produce on the menu; creativity of the dishes being served; careful marrying of textures and flavours of the component ingredients; value for money; and whether seeing the menu or selection of dishes, you would be tempted to eat there.

The ultimate winner will remain a secret until the award is presented at the Cateys on 2 July 2019 at the Grosvenor House in London.
