The biggest names in the business came together at East London hotel The Stratford to celebrate the UK restaurant industry last night (16 August).
Tom Kerridge was also recognised at the awards for the work he has done over the past 18 months. The Hand & Flowers chef-patron was awarded an Outstanding Contribution award by helping create the invaluable charity Meals From Marlow which has so far raised more than £180,000 to help feed NHS staff and people in need.
Other recipients at this year’s awards include Andrew Wong, who has been named Chef of the Year, and Tom Booton who was named Chef to Watch. Tommy Banks has been named Restaurateur of the Year.
The Estrella Damm National Restaurants awards are based on votes cast by chefs, restaurateurs and food writers.
