In a year set to be a milestone for the hospitality industry, the prestigious Cateys awards have shortlisted The Terrace, an Isle of Wight restaurant, for the highly coveted Best Newcomer award.
The Cateys are the largest and most sought-after awards in the hospitality sector, recognising excellence in service, innovation and quality. The shortlisting of The Terrace in Yarmouth is a significant achievement, a testament to the hard work and dedication of its team, and an indication of the establishment’s growing reputation within the industry.
Fahey: It’s 100 per cent a nomination for our team
Tom Fahey from The Terrace told News OnTheWight,
“I’m shocked by the nomination. It’s the Oscars of hospitality. To know that somehow our little Island restaurant has been noticed and recognised alongside the biggest names in the UK almost helps me conquer my imposter syndrome.
“I’m less involved in The Terrace Yarmouth now the hotel and wine [in Ventnor] are flourishing so it’s 100 per cent a nomination for our team who have excelled without me nagging them in person.
“Our four most senior team members have been with us since year one, which is testament to their amazing dedication and talent but also to the kindness and team spirit of our owner, Phil Keen, who works actively in the restaurant every day greeting and serving guests.”
Four days of intense debate
The shortlisting was determined by over 100 judges, experts in the field renowned for their knowledge and past success as Catey winners themselves.
After four days of intense debate, the nominees were carefully considered, and the shortlist for the various categories was announced.
Glamorous industry event
The winners of the awards, representing the best of British hospitality, will be revealed on 4th July at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House London.
This is a glamorous event that industry professionals, as well as members of the public, eagerly anticipate.
Showcasing the restaurant’s achievements
For The Terrace, being shortlisted for the Best Newcomer award is a significant boost. It provides an opportunity to showcase the restaurant’s achievements to both the industry and consumers alike.
