The best food, drink and hospitality businesses were celebrated at the inaugural Scotsman Scran Awards this month. 200 people were welcomed to Platform in Glasgow on Monday June 19.
The Scotsman Scran Awards, hosted by chef and broadcaster Julie Lin, were developed to celebrate the individuals, establishments and products that make the Scottish food and drink sector what it is.
From Michelin-Starred fine dining to coffee shops and celebrated chefs and spirits, the Scottish food, drink and hospitality scene is a melting pot of talent and innovation, and these awards celebrated the very best of this.
Speaking ahead of the awards, The Scotsman editor Neil Mcintosh said: “At the Scotsman, we believe that Scotland’s food, drink and hospitality industries represent something very important about the country.
“We love your products of course and we salute the enormous contributions the food and drink businesses make to the national economy.” Scotsman food and drink editor, and host of Scran podcast,
13. Sustainability Award winner: Dear Green Coffee Roasters
Dear Green Coffee Roasters have committed to reducing their emissions to Net Zero by 2030 and become a circular business as part of Glasgow’s reduction targets. Dear Green welcomed a Step Up to Net Zero (SUTNZ) Coordinator to the team this year, which was funded by the Local Authority in support of Glasgow’s programme to become Net Zero. The role supported them to calculate their carbon footprint of all 3 Scopes. This is completely voluntary, as there are no regulations yet for SMEs to supply carbon data. From there the team can build the reduction strategy. *Sponsored by Scotch Whisky Association* | LISA FERGUSON
