Eat Out Awards 2013

When: Thursday 24th January 2013
The Eat Out Awards 2013 are dedicated to the high street pub and restaurant market, celebrating the very best business practice in this fast-moving sector.
The UK’s eating out market continues to outperform struggling industries such as retail – a true sign that food-loving Brits have taken the nation’s pubs and restaurants to their hearts. These awards will honour those pub and restaurant companies working hard to support the skills of their staff, the development of their brands and the success of their initiatives.
Recognising everything from technology to marketing and from CSR to teamwork, these awards will bring the best restaurants and pubs companies together for an evening of celebration.
Jamie’s Italian and JD Wetherspoon voted ‘Nation’s Favourite Pub and Restaurant Brands’
Jamie’s Italian and JD Wetherspoon have been named the Nation’s Favourite Restaurant and Pub Brands at the inaugural Eat Out Awards 2013.
After teaming up with Livebookings, the search began back in October to crown the pub and restaurant brands consumers love the most. Voting closed in December and over 5,000 votes were received through Bookatable email campaigns, social media promotion and the Eat Out website.
Clare Riley, editor of Eat Out magazine, said the winning brands are two of the most successful companies in the sector: “It’s great to see Jamie’s Italian and JD Wetherspoon taking home these awards. To be voted the nation’s favourite entirely by consumers is something to be very proud of.”
