New Covent Garden Market business The Menu Partners has been named ‘Foodservice Partner of the Year’ at Restaurant Magazine’s Readers' Choice Awards.

Voted for by chefs and restaurant owners and revealed at the end of September each year, the awards recognise the best suppliers and brands in the restaurant industry, based on categories such as customer service, reliability, product range, and going the extra mile.

“These awards are a brilliant recognition of the quality and passion that goes into the products we're proud to bring to our customers,” said Jason Tanner, founder of The Menu Partners.

“We were delighted to win and even prouder to celebrate some of the brilliant suppliers we're lucky enough to work alongside,” he said. “Our fish partner, The Stickleback Fish Co. Ltd, has had an incredible year, being named Seafood Supplier of the Year and Top Supplier. Our meat partner, Aldens of Oxford, has also been highly commended for Best Meat Supplier.”

Chefs and restaurant owners were asked to vote for their top suppliers across 14 categories, considering aspects such as product range and quality, durability, customer service, and reliability, as well as championing the suppliers they believed went the extra mile.

The judges' panel also praised The Menu Partners for supporting suppliers like Stickleback and Aldens, ensuring chefs have access to the best ingredients available. “Huge congratulations to the teams at Stickleback and Aldens," said Jason. "Thank you to everyone who voted for The Menu Partners and our fantastic supplier partners.”
