R200 Award Short List Announced

The shortlist for this year’s annual R200 awards has been released, featuring many of our restaurant customers

The Restaurant Magazine R200 awards are the annual showcase of the who’s who of the restaurant industry, with awards being picked up by the top independent and chain restaurant businesses up and down the country, with both household favourites and the up-and-coming under the spotlight.

We are pleased to see most on the shortlist are our customers, in with a chance of wining an award in this years list. We are pleased to be part of all of our customers successes and continue to be a great support to them all wherever they are in the country

After Matt Lovell and Rob Hampton from The Oystermen won best restaurant earlier this year at the OFM awards, we are proud to see even more of our new and long term customers (and also some new ones on the list that we cant mention at the moment!)

The shortlist is put together by industry experts, then voted on by the members of the R200 community. Winners are announced at the awards ceremony on the 4th December.
