The Caterer and Hotelkeeper awards, or The Cateys, are a UK award ceremony for the hospitality industry, first held in 1984. They have been described as the hospitality industry's equivalent of the Oscars. Recipients are nominated, selected and awarded by the industry through Caterer and Hotelkeeper magazine.
The Chef Award is one of the most-coveted and previous winners include John Campbell in 2008, David Everitt-Matthias in 2007, Heston Blumenthal in 2004, Gordon Ramsay in 2000, Brian Turner in 1997 and Raymond Blanc in 1990.
