Licensed & Catering News Awards 2016 now open

We are delighted to announce that the Licensed & Catering News Awards 2016 are now open for entries.

This is the sixth year that this event has been staged. It’s the biggest night out of the year for the local hospitality trade and each year, our gala evening is bolder and brighter than its predecessor.

Our 2015 Awards attracted an unprecedented response from hotels, pubs, restaurants, guest houses, caterers and tourist attractions across Northern Ireland and our grand finale at The Europa in June – when awards were distributed in 17 exciting categories – was a sold-out event.

Now, with a re-invigorated line-up of sponsors and a comprehensive array of categories, we are expecting big things from the 2016 event.

“The Licensed & Catering News Awards are now very well established on the industry’s social calendar and we are confident that the level of entries for the 2016 competition will reflect the soaring popularity of this event,” said Bill Penton, publisher of LCN and the organiser of this event.

“Again, we’ll be calling on the expertise of mystery shopping specialists, Spotcheck, to ensure that judging is entirely independent and carried out fairly and rigorously. The awards are free to enter and open to all aspects of the industry. The rewards in terms of PR and recognition are invaluable so I think it’s going to be very exciting to see what the trade has to offer us this time around.”

The closing date for entries will be Friday, March 18, 2016 and all finalists are awarded a complimentary VIP ticket for our gala awards evenings, when they’ll enjoy a champagne reception, live music, a gorgeous meal with fine wine and of course, the exciting award ceremony itself.

So don’t delay, be among the first to enter for the 2016 Licensed & Catering News Awards and be part of the biggest date on the local industry’s social calendar.
