Event season has officially arrived – and it certainly isn’t taking any prisoners! Last month alone, I had the pleasure of attending the Toque D’Or awards ceremony, where the front- and back-of-house winners of the 36th annual competition were announced. Seeing first-hand how investment in the younger generation can empower the hospitality industry at large was incredibly uplifting, and witnessing these young people hone their passion and skills as they embark on the start of their culinary careers was so inspiring that I left that afternoon with a definite spring in my step. Read more about the awards on page 10.

Our internal events cycle is also in full swing, with the last few weeks seeing the launch of the Classic Cocktail Competition, now heading into its second year, closely followed, of course, by the National Pizza Awards, which returns to London’s Big Penny Social in November. Team Dine Out are in the thick of event preparation, and we can’t wait to open the doors once more to the UK’s ultimate pizza party. Turn to page 4 for the full lowdown on this year’s event – including info on how to enter!

But first, it’s time to dive into Dine Out’s July issue, featuring a review of my recent visit to The Megaro; the 2024 chapter of Inside Dining Out; and the inaugural Burger Report, brought to you in partnership with our pals at Savanta.

Enjoy!
