Taste of the West's Hospitality and Retail Awards 2022 open for entries

The Hospitality and Retail Awards 2022 are now open for entries.

Organised by Taste of the West, the awards have been launched in response to the ongoing pandemic, with the aim to help the sector recover.

John Sheaves, CEO of Taste of the West said: “The pandemic has been a real kick in the teeth for the majority of hospitality businesses and thank goodness we had a half decent summer trading period in 2021.

“We now have to focus on 2022, and to help these businesses maximise their potential for the new season and beyond, we have made our scheme easier to enter and easier to gain valuable feedback on the ‘front of house’ experience.

“We have invested in additional resources and personnel to enable this to happen so that we can offer a new, improved level of service for 2022, and we look forward to developing promotional partnerships with South West food and drink businesses.”

As part of the awards competition all entrants are visited anonymously by a Taste of the West judge and receive a detailed evaluation report with constructive feedback on a number of criteria on the front of house experience including commitment to and communication of local sourcing, as well as the quality of food and drink, quality of service, atmosphere and ambience.

A gold, silver or commended award is then given to the winning entries.
