GTN’s Greatest Catering Team Awards are back again! The third year of these most prestigious awards for excellence in garden centre catering will be presented after dinner on the Tuesday night and a presentation about the winners and the new trends picked up during the judging visits will be made by Trevor Pfeiffer on Wednesday 14 June.

This year there are two new categories that the judges will be collecting information for: The Greatest Wash Up Team – that vital part of the catering jigsaw that keeps the whole show running like clockwork – and The Greatest Garden Centre Baking Team.

GTN’s Greatest Awards always takes size of centre into account so there is as much chance of a small centre winning as a destination centre. “It’s the Greatest we are looking for each year, who are truly creating memorable experiences with their garden centre catering,” explained Awards organiser Trevor Pfeiffer.

To enter the awards all you have to do is nominate your team via e-mail to trevor.pfeiffer@tgcmc.co.uk and then the Garden Trade News team of expert judges will arrange to visit during May.

Full list of GTN’s Greatest Catering Awards:

  • The Greatest Afternoon Tea Team
  • The Greatest Coffee Team
  • The Greatest Wash Up Team
  • The Greatest Baking Team
  • The Greatest Chef Team
  • The Greatest Front of House Team
