Our annual Garden Centre Catering Awards have returned, recognising the very best operators from across the UK. There are as ever four categories up for grabs: Afternoon Tea of the Year, Group Garden Centre Caterer of the Year, Independent Garden Centre Caterer of the Year and the Sustainability Award.

There is no charge to enter, and multiple categories can be submitted. The four winners will be revealed in our winter issue, and we will visit and profile them in the magazine.




'This means everything'
Ricky Towers, group restaurant director for British Garden Centres, which won Garden Centre Catering Group of the Year in 2024 and 2025, told us: “Winning this award, especially for the second year in a row, is a moment where we can look at every single person across all of our 78 sites and say, ‘What you do matters and people have noticed’. That means everything.”

The 2026 sponsors are Fox’s and Burton’s Companies, Franke and We Love Cake. Go to gardencentrecateringawards.co.uk to send us your submissions, the deadline is 25th September.
