Cateys 2009
Since their inception in 1984, the Cateys have become a byword
for quality, class and achievement, the awards that everybody wants
to win.
Two elements in particular make a Catey such a desirable
accolade: peer-group recognition and a meticulous judging process.
Candidates in each category are nominated by readers of Caterer
& Hotelkeeper and winners are chosen by judging panels
selected for their expertise and industry knowledge.
Simon Numphud, hotel services manager for the Automobile
Association and one of the eight judges in the 'Hotel of the Year
Group' category commented,
"The attention to detail shown both in the product
and the service levels is impressive. The new bedrooms and
bathrooms provide a new benchmark in standards for others to aspire
to. It's also great to see the innovation within the food and
beverage offering, with the award-winning 'Pass' restaurant taking
the chef's table concept to another level."
The Pass - 3 AA Rosettes
Awarded to the hotel's new restaurant in
January 2009 just four months after opening.
The AA states, “Three Rosettes are awarded to
outstanding restaurants that demand recognition well beyond the
local area. The highest quality ingredients receive sympathetic
treatment, and there is consistent timing, seasoning, and judgement
of flavour combinations. You can expect excellent and intelligent
service, and a well-chosen wine list”.
