The great and good of the hotel industry will hopefully by now have shaken off the effects of last night's inaugural Hotel Cateys at the London Hilton on Park Lane. The Caterer team were certainly quieter than usual today.
It was an undoubtedly successful evening and our congratulations go out to all the winners, and indeed those shortlisted, as we had hundreds and hundreds of entries - Housekeeper of the Year alone received 50. Grant Hearn, from Travelodge (pictured) was the big winner with the Outstanding Achievement award.
Personal highlights? The monkfish with orange mash was excellent while the chocolate fondant dessert went down well with all, including some of the Michelin-starred fraternity in attendance.
Ardal O'Hanlon (Dougal from Father Ted) was a highly entertaining compere, while a special mention must go out to the Goring's David Morgan-Hewitt and Peter Hancock, from Pride of Britain, whose turn as the Two Ronnies was - dare I say - surprisingly good.
So much so that Bob Cotton immediately snapped them up for a forthcoming BHA event!
