Garden Centre Catering Awards winners revealed!

Winter is decidedly upon us and that means we have arrived once again at the most important occasion of the year. Well, there is also the small matter of the whole Christmas period, but sitting just above that comes the annual announcement of the winners of our annual Garden Centre Catering Awards!

We have been inundated with entries over the last six months, so picking the final foursome was no mean feat. We received a record number of submissions this time out – all to an extremely high standard – so our thanks first of all to everyone who entered. It was an extremely difficult task to settle on the ultimate quartet.

However, after much, much (much) deliberation, we are extremely confident that these winners represent the finest that the UK industry has to offer across each of the four categories. They range from an innovative independent to one of the strongest UK chains, the greenest garden centre to an awesome afternoon tea. They are:

Afternoon Tea of the Year
Waterperry Gardens

Garden Centre Catering Group of the Year
British Garden Centres

Independent Garden Centre Caterer of the Year
Monkton Elm Garden Centre

Sustainability Award
Thetford Garden Centre

Our heartfelt congratulations go out to our winners. We know from past interviews just how much receiving an accolade like this can really boost their businesses. We will be profiling the 2025 victors across next year to find out just how they manage to be so outstanding in their fields.

The awards will, of course, be back again next year – so look out for their launch and we would love to receive your entry…
