Welcome

In 2008, the Caterer and Hotelkeeper Awards, or Cateys, reach a milestone.  On 8th July, we’ll celebrate 25 years of recognising and applauding the best of British hospitality.

Since their inception in 1984, the Cateys have cast a spotlight on the industry’s high flyers, strongest performers and hottest brands. Over quarter of a century, they have become a byword for quality, class and achievement, the awards that everybody wants to win. No wonder then that the industry refers to them as its Oscars Night.

Why does winning a Catey mean so much? Because recipients are nominated, selected and rewarded by their industry peers. A Catey statue on your mantelpiece symbolises Caterer readers’ collective desire to recognise your efforts in supporting and developing the UK's hospitality scene.

Nominations for the 2008 Catey Awards have now CLOSED but we still want you to get involved in our online poll to identify the person who has done most in the lifetime of the Cateys to advance hospitalilty.  Please click here to cast your vote for the Silver Catey winner.  By voting you are automatically put forward for a draw to select one lucky reader and a guest to join us at this year’s Cateys on 8th July at the Grosvenor House Hotel.

Meanwhile, this website helps you understand more about the Cateys, find past winners of these prestigious awards and their sponsors.
