Wild Shropshire Restaurant, Tern Hill, has been picked as a winner in two categories in the inaugural Restaurant Awards 2019 Midlands Edition.
The event, which was held at the Holiday Inn, Birmingham City Centre, was hosted by Creative Oceanic and included the representatives of the best restaurants in the region.
The winners were chosen by an independent panel of judges and all winners were presented with a glass trophy to display in their business premises. Wild Shropshire took the titles in the Fine Dining Restaurant of the Year and the Outstanding Restaurant of the Year categories.
Founder, owner and chef at Wild Shropshire, James Sherwin, said: ‘’My whole team is absolutely thrilled and we would like to thank our customers and guests who initially nominated us.
"At Wild Shropshire Restaurant, we pride ourselves on delivering a menu which is rooted in Shropshire based, micro seasonal food and which is influenced by the unique climate, soil & environment it grows in. By this process, we are committed to lessening our carbon footprint and therefore supporting a more sustainable planet. To have been recognised for our achievement in these areas is wonderful. ’’
The awards rewarded the talent, skill, hard work and determination of those who serve the region, promote different cuisines and connect the community through food and culture.
A Creative Oceanic spokesperson said: “The awards have acknowledged the restaurants for the overall experience they provide to their guests, including; the friendly staff, comfortable environment, excellent ambience and rich menu amongst other criteria.
"We would like to congratulate all finalists and winners for contributing to making Midlands a region well known for its great food, creating an ideal destination for those who seek some time to relax, enjoying either a good street food or eclectic dishes.”
The awards also helped to raise money for the official charity partner, ‘Make A Wish Foundation U.K.’, a charity that grants magical wishes to children and young people fighting life-threatening conditions.
