Restaurant shorlisted for top award
Goodwood’s flagship, sustainable restaurant has been shortlisted for one of the hospitality industry’s top awards.
Staff at Farmer, Butcher, Chef are up for Hotel Restaurant Team of the Year in the 2021 Hotel Cateys.
Andrew Coggings, Goodwood managing director of entertaining and hospitality, said: “Farmer, Butcher, Chef opened its doors at the earliest date in 2020, with the restaurant manager leading the team in an industry that had some very challenging restrictions placed by the government.
“Our restaurant has been full every single lunch and dinner service with the team collaborating to deliver an exceptionally high level of hospitality and the guest feedback continues to be outstanding.
“Throughout everything, the team has maintained a consistently positive attitude and have supported one another throughout a turbulent year.”
Other nominees in the Hotel Restaurant Team of the Year category include The Bridge and the Vicarage in Cheshire and Forest, Galtres Lodge in York.
Organised by the Caterer magazine, the Hotel Cateys recognise the most successful hotel operators and their employees in the UK.
This year the awards will celebrate those individuals and teams that have best supported their colleagues and the business in which they work, recognising creativity and commitment through an exceptional period.
The awards, supported by the headline sponsors Bidfood, remain the hotel industry’s only independent benchmark of operational excellence with entrants judged by their peers and industry experts.
Over 70 judges, selected for their expertise and industry knowledge, met for some vigorous debate and discussion to select shortlists across 17 categories.
The winners will remain a secret until they are announced at a ceremony on November 19 at London’s Park Plaza Westminster Bridge hotel.
