SRA President Raymond Blanc and Vice President Prue Leith will present the 2017 Food Made Good Awards at a special ceremony on 5 October at the Royal Horticultural Society’s Lindley Hall.
The awards will recognise restaurants and foodservice businesses whose accomplishments in the last year have driven progress in the industry and are run ethically and sustainably.
There are a number of new categories for 2017, including the Good To Go award, which will be presented in partnership with Just Eat. There is also a new award for new businesses; the Open Right award will be presented to a business which has opened a site in the last 18 months with sustainability built in.
Raymond Blanc, who is also curating the lunch at the awards ceremony, says: “The Food Made Good Awards are so critical, recognising the work and commitment of individuals and organisations responsible for bringing new ethics to our food production, and sharing those values in our kitchens and with consumers.”
