Testimonials
Jack Baker, head chef of the Cricket Inn, Totley, Sheffield
"It is great to enter the awards as it raises your personal profile and is a reward for the hard work and commitment you have to put in when working in great pubs."
He added it is also great to compete against your peers and the competition really takes you out of the comfort zone and tests you personally.
Richard Smith of BrewKitchen
"The profile that winning the award gave us helped us to fill the restaurant throughout the winter months and has given us the belief to go and open our second pub."
Both Smith and Baker agreed that the pub chef awards highlighted the vast improvement of food in pubs and showed these types of establishments to be the natural place to eat great food in the UK.
