The 2013 Sustainable Restaurant Association Awards, in association with Unilever Food Solutions, took place on Monday the 4th of February at the iconic OXO Tower on London’s South Bank.

SRA President Raymond Blanc hosted the awards, which were attended by some of the country’s leading chefs and restaurateurs, including Antonio Carluccio and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall. Chef Blanc and his team from Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons teamed up with two of his protégés, Bruno Loubet, head chef at Bistrot Bruno Loubet at the Zetter Hotel, and Agnar Sverrisson of Texture, to create a special sustainable menu in honour of the award-winners and special guests.

The awards are in recognition of those who have achieved the highest ratings in sustainability across several categories during the last year, including the coveted title of Sustainable Restaurant of the Year. Our winners and sponsors can be found below.
