Caterfood Collection Celebrates Award-Winning Start to 2026

February 20, 2026

We’re delighted to be starting 2026 on a high note, following a fantastic achievement at one of the foodservice industry’s most respected events.


On 6 January, members of our own brand team attended the Chefs' Own Brand Awards, organised by Cash and Carry Management, and held at the iconic Royal Horseguards Hotel. The evening brought together leading professionals from across the sector to celebrate excellence, innovation, and quality in own brand products.


Bringing Home Two Prestigious Awards

We were incredibly proud to return with two awards, recognising the quality and consistency of our Caterfood Select range:

  • Butchery Award – Caterfood Select Back Bacon
  • Afternoon Tea Award – Caterfood Select Plain and Fruit Scones

These accolades reflect the care, expertise, and attention to detail that go into every product we develop. Being recognised by industry experts and chefs is a strong endorsement of our commitment to delivering products that meet the highest professional standards.

A Milestone in Our Own Brand Journey

Winning at the Chefs’ Own Brand Awards marks an exciting early milestone in our wider own brand journey. As we look ahead to 2026 and beyond, the continued expansion and development of our own brand range will remain a key strategic focus for Caterfood Collection.

These awards reinforce our confidence in that direction and motivate us to keep raising the bar — from sourcing and product development through to consistency, taste, and performance in professional kitchens.


Thank You to Our Partners and Team

Achievements like this are never the result of one team alone. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to our valued and collaborative suppliers,whose expertise and shared commitment to quality play a vital role in our success. We’re also incredibly grateful to our wider internal teams, whose dedication ensures our products consistently deliver on their promise.
