About Us

The Caterer is the leading multimedia brand for the UK hospitality industry. Since 1878, it’s been helping operators build better businesses and better careers, as well as providing suppliers with a platform to showcase their most innovative products and services. It is the only hospitality media brand with a pan-industry focus, with extensive coverage of hotels, restaurants, foodservice, pubs and bars.

 

We host an industry-leading portfolio of events that celebrate excellence, support professional development and bring the hospitality community together. The flagship awards such as the Cateys, Hotel Cateys, Foodservice Cateys, Supplier Awards and Acorn Awards recognise and honour the outstanding work that goes on throughout the industry. Other initiatives such as Best Places to Work in Hospitality not only shine a light on the top employers in hospitality but also provides business leaders with a unique opportunity to listen and learn from their staff to improve retention and employee engagement.

 

The Caterer Summits add further value to operators by offering insight, analysis and practical guidance on the key topics shaping the industry today. Our annual in-person People Summit brings together people leaders for a day of interactive learning with key thought leaders from both the hospitality industry and beyond. The virtual summits and webinars offer insightful presentations and panel sessions designed to tackle the most business-critical issues and provide you with practical ideas and solutions to implement in your operation.

 

Together, The Caterer’s trusted digital content and industry-leading events provide a 360-degree view of hospitality through news, insight and inspiration that professionals need, while celebrating the people and businesses driving the sector forward.
