Chefs and restaurant owners participated in a vote to select their top suppliers across 15 categories, which included Best Meat Supplier, Best Foodservice Company, Best Equipment Distributor, Best Knife Brand, Best Delivery Partner, Best Technology Provider, and Best Gadget.
The Restaurant Readers’ Choice Awards stemmed from a comprehensive survey conducted among our restaurateur audience, inviting them to nominate their favorite suppliers. The winners are those companies recognized for exceptional customer service, reliability, a diverse product range, and going above and beyond for their customers.
The big winner this year was Devizes-based catering butcher Walter Rose & Son, who claimed both the titles of Best Meat Supplier and Best Supplier.
Zonal also excelled with wins in two categories, securing both Best EPoS Supplier and Best Technology Supplier.
Catering equipment supplier Nisbets showed strong performance as well, winning Best Equipment Supplier, while its in-house tableware brand, Olympia, received Highly Commended in the Best Glassware Supplier category.
