The Caterer Middle East Awards 2016 is set to take place tonight at a gala ceremony at Conrad Dubai, with 16 winners set to take home the trophies.

Now in its eight year, the Caterer Middle East Awards have become a firm fixture in the social calendar for the F&B community, bringing together those responsible for driving the industry forward and raising standards across the board.

In addition to celebrating the achievements of outlets, teams and individuals, guests tonight will enjoy a pre-awards drinks reception, a three-course meal and free flowing beverages during the awards ceremony itself, as well as live entertainment.

Anticipation is high, with shortlisted candidates eager to find out who will be crowned the winners for this year - and an audience of 400+ people expected to attend.

Categories span the breadth of the F&B industry, from Head Chef of the Year to Waiter of the Year, and from the ever popular Kitchen Hero of the Year to Restaurant Team of the Year.

Starting at 7pm, the ceremony will take place at Conrad Dubai, on Sheikh Zayed Road.
