For over 15 years, the Restaurant Association has proudly brought together our local communities to celebrate the best of hospitality through the Regional Hospitality Awards.
Starting in 2025, we’re doing things a little differently. To support the unique spirit of each region, the Awards will now be organised locally, with backing from the Association. This new model puts local leadership at the heart of each event — making sure the celebrations truly belong to the communities they represent.
If you’re keen to find out more about running a Regional Hospitality Awards event in your area, we’d love to chat — get in touch here.
Take a look around the site (click on the regions below, or via the menu) to explore the rich history of the Awards, the incredible talent we’ve celebrated, and the important role hospitality plays in shaping vibrant local communities.
