Business among nation’s best

MAYURA Station’s Tasting Room and The Barn Restaurant were named among the best in Australia last month when they were recognised at the national industry awards.

The 2018 Savour Australia Restaurant and Catering HOSTPLUS National Awards for Excellence was held at Sydney’s Luna Park on October 29 to celebrate the achievements of Australia’s finest hospitality businesses.

Mayura Station’s Tasting Room received a gold award for best steak restaurant, while The Barn was awarded bronze for best restaurant in a hotel, motel or resort.

Restaurant and Catering Australia chief executive officer Juliana Payne congratulated each of the national award winners on behalf of the association, thanking them for their participation in this year’s awards season.

“The national awards for excellence is indisputably one of the biggest highlights on the association’s calendar and I’m delighted to acknowledge our winners and finalists across each of the different categories,” she said.

“Out of the 45,000 businesses across Australia’s café, restaurant and catering sector, the businesses recognised as part of our awards have consistently displayed the high standards of excellence, commitment and professionalism which have come to be expected from the Australian dining public.”

Ms Payne said the event was a standout success, thanking the businesses for their contributions.

“I’d like to personally thank and congratulate the business-owners and their staff members who took the time to enter in this year’s awards,” she said.

“They will reap the marketing rewards of being recognised as first among their peers.”
