National Restaurant of the Year The Hand and Flowers
The National Restaurant of the Year was The Hand and Flowers. Joan Roca, who knows what it is like to top a prestigious list, was on hand to present the award to owners Tom and Beth Kerridge. Tom Kerridge, whose BBC series Proper Pub Food is now airing on Monday nights, told BigHospitality the fact a pub had won a major restaurant award was indicative of the changing face of dining in the UK.
