Local restaurant and pub steal the show at awards

Local restaurant and pub steal the show at awards and show Buckingham has the best entertainment on offer.

Pizza restaurant Louis has been awarded Restaurant of the Year and the Mitre has been named Pub of the Year at the awards which have been sponsored by the University for three years.

The annual SME (Small Medium Enterprise) and Buckinghamshire Business Awards celebrate local businesses within the county and Milton Keynes with the opportunity for winners to attend the National SME Awards ceremony.

Speaking on behalf of the awards, at Milton Keynes, Buckingham Director of Employment and Engagement Jason Sinclair said: “There is a special sense of pride at having these local awards in association with the University this year. As a University we are incredibly passionate about business, and the people who make it all happen.

“Many of the finalists are entrepreneurs, who took a chance with an idea and stepped into the world of Business. This is even more special to us, as a University who is proud to offer Entrepreneurial study at both Undergraduate and Postgraduate levels.”

Owner of Louis, Louis Myhill, said: “I am thrilled to have received this award and have all my hard work recognised. Louis’ would like to thank all who voted and each every single staff member and patron who make the place what it is.

“And, who better to have awarded the prize but The University of Buckingham. I know we keep at least half of those students fed and watered so it certainly feels appropriate.”

Peter Edwards, owner of the Mitre, said: “We are delighted to win the Pub of the Year Award especially as an independently owned pub as we rely upon such a strong core team and it’s great to get recognition for all of that.”
