The awards are seen as the chefs’ Oscars recognising the exceptional talent across the whole of our industry – from apprentice and young chefs just starting out to chefs who are established in their careers in hospitality, pubs and restaurants.

Andrew Green, chief executive of the Craft Guild of Chefs, said: “The Craft Guild Awards, now in their celebratory 30th year, are the pinnacle for any chef to enter. Judged by the very best chefs out there. 

“We cover every sector from pubs, to hotels, to cost sector, we have always believed in being inclusive, and each entry is making a difference within their chosen sector. Just to be shortlisted is a massive achievement, and knowing that people are reading and talking about what you do, and have been doing is a real special feeling.”
