If you’re getting into business in order to win awards, you and your business are probably not going to last the test of time sadly. Only those business ventures which are motivated by passion, drive and determination are the ones which see true and lasting success. However, this doesn’t mean that we can’t enjoy the razzle dazzle of a national award ceremony when it comes around.
The Estrella Damm National Restaurant Awards are an annual event which recognise the finest restaurants in the Uk. From Michelin Star fining dining to edgy and innovative street food, these awards celebrate all the diversity, creativity and exceptionally high quality that the British food industry has to offer.
This years awards took place this summer in London’s famed Hurlingham Club. The awards were as glamorous as ever and we have a brief summary of who won what, which business are the ones to watch, and where everyone’s going to be eating for the next 12 months.
