The awards night at the Hilton London Metropole Hotel in Edgware Road will take place on April 20th when the winners in each of 19 categories will be named.
A judging panel of 24 industry experts has just completed the task of sifting through more than 150 nominations.
David Foad, editor of Cost Sector Catering, said: “We know that everyone in the catering industry carries a heavy workload and each nomination takes time out of a busy day for someone.
“That is why we really appreciate the effort that goes into every entry and why the judges spend a lot time carefully assessing them.
“The response has been, yet again, absolutely fantastic and my congratulations go to each nominee who has made their way onto the shortlist across all the categories.”
