Higher Awards...and welcome!

Welcome to my first ever EatScotland blog...or, in fact, my first blog ever!

I am pleased that EatScotland has recently launched its higher awards, which are to be known as the Silver and Gold Awards. These additional awards were created to recognise eateries that were achieving superior results or going that extra mile.

An official launch will be going ahead on the 14th May 2007 which all current Silver Award winners will be invited to attend. At the event Gold award winners will be announced as well as announcing individual awards.

We at EatScotland, feel that the Silver & Gold Awards marks a real step forward for the Scottish food and drink industry as a whole. The scheme will reward our most innovative and quality driven establishments with the recognition they deserve, be they a local tea room or your bistro down the road. We really feel that these awards will, in time, provide an incentive across the industry to strive to improve standards.

The guide lines for silver are discretionary but are largely guided by the grades received within the EatScotland report. However, the full guidelines are available on www.sfqc.co.uk/food if you wish to view at your leisure.
