Your customers will be the judges of Greatness

As customer service and customer satisfaction are the keys to the ongoing success of garden centre catering, especially during this difficult summer, the winners of The Greatest Restaurant & Food Hall Team awards will be decided by the number and quality of customer votes your teams receive before the closing date of September 1st 2026.

Your customers can vote online by scanning the QR codes below or you can get them to vote in store and then send completed voting forms to the GTN office for counting.

To get your customers voting, all you have to do is download the voting posters and voting forms from the links below and display them in your restaurant, coffee shop and Food Hall.  In the meantime you could be adding the voting links into your websites and social media pages.
