Cateys 2026: 24 hours left to submit nominations

There are just 24 hours left to nominate the biggest talents and greatest brands in the hospitality industry for recognition at the 2026 Cateys, held in partnership with Square.

Returning to JW Marriott Grosvenor House London on Tuesday 7 July for an unforgettable evening, the ceremony will showcase the finest that the hotel, restaurant, foodservice and pub and bar industries have to offer.

This year there are 24 categories, ranging from the newly-launched Pastry Chef of the Year to Menu of the Year, and Pub and Bar Award to The Caterer’s This Is Hospitality Award to complement its year-long This Is Hospitality campaign.

Winning a Catey recognises an individual’s or business’s unparalleled position in the hospitality sector, as these three past winners found when they received their Catey last year.

For Paul Jackson, managing director at Searcys, winner of the 2025 Cateys Foodservice Caterer Award, he said while winning provides reassurance that the business is making the right decisions for its clients, the real value lies in what it does for the business’s people, giving teams a vital morale boost.

To make a nomination for the 2026 Cateys, go to the website for full details. The closing date for Cateys’ nominations is Wednesday 4 March at 5pm.
