The MCA Hospitality Awards is a prestigious annual celebration of the very best concepts, individuals and deals in the UK eating and drinking out sector.

Covering pubs, restaurants, bars and food to go, the sell-out ceremony is known as the industry’s Oscars.

A veritable who’s who of the great and the good of hospitality, it brings together the leaders of established and emerging multi-site operators, investors and key suppliers to celebrate the industry and network with their peers.

The awards are nominated and voted upon by a special academy of senior executives, this peer recognition making the awards highly valued by recipients.

Voting by the senior industry is invited across 12 categories during January, whilst expert panels assess entries for the Sustainability, Diversity Leadership Programme, Rising Star awards, and new for 2025, the Consumer Choice award, with all winners announced at the gala awards dinner.
