“It has been a tough couple of years but what better time to sing the praises of those chefs who have done an amazing job across so many sectors. So have a look, get online and put pen to paper and write up an amazing nomination for the chefs you believe deserve recognition.”
The Innovation in Sustainability Award is new for 2022 and it looks at sustainability within your establishment. The Peoples’ Choice Award has evolved into the Culinary Hero Award to showcase the great work we all saw over the last couple of years where chefs from across the industry went above and beyond their day job to help communities, charities and those in need.

- Apprentice Chef Award
- Armed Forces Chef Award

- Chef Lecturer Award
- Chefs’ Favourite Branded Restaurant
- Competition Chef Award

- Culinary Hero Award
- Development Chef Award
- Innovation in Sustainability Award (individual/company/organisation)
