The Trencherman's Awards 2023 were revealed at a ceremony in Salcombe
The winners of the Trencherman's Awards 2023 were recently revealed at a spectacular ceremony by the sea at Salcombe Harbour Hotel on March 6. Broadcaster and food critic William Sitwell and Dorset's TV chef and restaurateur Mark Hix of The Oyster and Fish House joined Trencherman's Guide editorial director Jo Rees to present this year's awards – the most prestigious dining accolades in the South West. The event was attended by the region's leading chefs, restaurateurs and hoteliers, among other influential foodies. Host William Sitwell said: 'Very few areas of the country have a guide that rivals Hardens or Michelin in terms of how it's put together – the Trencherman's Guide has really experienced food writers bringing their know-how and knowledge to it – but also for the fact that the South West food scene has the most extraordinary talent." He adds, 'The Trencherman's Awards event showcases the incredible talent, innovation, a lot of energy, a lot of young people who have come into the hospitality business – and of course a few true stalwarts like my co-host Mark Hix."
