A COUPLE’S catering firm has been nominated for a prestigious food award.

Morgans Catering For You Limited, based on Shaw Lane in Stoke Prior, has been shortlisted in the Caterer of the Year category in the Food Awards England 2017.

The company, which is run by husband and wife duo Anthony and Karen Morgan, has won the regional prize for the last three years.

Mrs Morgan said: “It is lovely to be nominated again for this award and hopefully we will come back with the title.

“Thank you to everyone who has voted for us and special thanks to our wonderful team, because without them we would not be up for this award.”

The company saw off competition from thousands of nominations and will now await the results at a black tie event at the Mercure Manchester Piccadilly Hotel on October 2.

The fourth annual Food Awards England is voted for by the public and rewards businesses dedicated to constantly delivering high-quality dishes in the English food sector.

Irfan Younis of event organisers Creative Oceanic said: “We have had a fantastic response from the public over the years and we are looking forward to welcoming and commending successful food industry professionals in a celebration of their tireless work.

“We would like to wish all the finalists the best of luck.”
