During the period of running the Conferences the
BEV-E Awards were launched. The Association
wanted to highlight hospitality businesses who

were going above and beyond to serve excellent
drinks and customer service. The Awards were
presented on an annual basis. On looking
through the past records we have found the

winners from 2008 who were Sadleir’s Coffee
Lounge in Tettenhall (The National Independent
Award), Montideli, Mexborough (Northern
Regional Winner), Trents, Chichester (South East

Regional Winner), The Brunel Buffet, Minehead
(South West Regional Winner) and the National
Winner was the Boston Tea Party who at that time
was a family run Company with seven outlets.
