Fifteen Cornwall wins national 'tourism oscar'

Fifteen Cornwall won gold at this year’s Enjoy England Awards on Wednesday night (23rd April) scooping the top award in the ‘Taste of England’ category, against hundreds of other entries from across the country.

Representatives from Fifteen Cornwall travelled to Liverpool, the European City of Culture, to the award ceremony at St George’s Hall which was held appropriately on St George’s Day. 

Now in their 19th year, the Enjoy England awards are affectionately known as the ‘Tourism Oscars’. They promote healthy industry competition and high standards, helping to ensure England's place as a world-class destination.  Fifteen Cornwall was awarded the ‘Taste of England’ gold award, not only on excellence of service and customer care, but on their food sourcing and environmental policies.


Speaking after the ceremony Fifteen Cornwall’s Chief Executive Dave Meneer said: “To win such a prestigious award is absolutely amazing and a big victory for Cornwall.  We’re committed to sourcing more than 80% of our ingredients from local suppliers and I’m sure that the fabulous quality impressed the judges and helped us win gold.  I’m extremely proud of all of the awards that we win but to receive a top national award for the dining experience that we offer is a testament to the talent of the team.”
