Celebrating excellence in hospitality

Recognised as the industry's Oscars, the MCA Hospitality Awards is one of the most anticipated events in the UK eating and drinking out sector.

The awards celebrate the outstanding concepts, individuals and businesses shaping hospitality today, bringing together senior leaders from across pubs, bars, restaurants, cafés and food to go to recognise excellence, innovation and leadership.

A high-profile gathering of operators, investors, advisers and key suppliers, the event provides a distinguished opportunity to celebrate achievement, connect with peers and reflect on the successes driving the sector forward.

For 2027, winners across 16 categories will be selected by an independent panel of respected industry experts, recognising those making the greatest impact across the hospitality industry.

Tables for the industry's most anticipated night will be available to book soon
