Boston Tea Party Cafés (BTP) is pleased to have been named the Café Life Awards' Café/Coffee Bar Chain Award winners for 2014.
Beating the likes of Costa, Coffee #1 and Harris and Hoole for the award, BTP, that has chains in Exeter and Honiton, were praised for the breadth of their menu - from coffee and cakes, to more substantial meals and range of wines and craft beers. Along with the uniquely tailored nature of each café, the use of green energy and social responsibility, the judges said BTP were worthy winners.
The award aims to recognise the leading operators who are setting the standards and driving the market in terms of innovation, standards and consumer satisfaction.
The judges look to recognise businesses that consistently set and maintain high standards, from the quality of the products they offer to the friendliness of staff. All those short-listed were visited by an independent judge who reported on factors such as atmosphere, facilities, cleanliness and product range as well as customer service.
Sam Roberts, Managing Director of BTP, said "It gives me immense pleasure that BTP scooped the much coveted Café/Coffee Bar Chain of the 2014 at the Café Life Award ceremony in London. Despite lots of external evidence to the contrary, I have always believed it is possible to get better as you get bigger. A challenge I often frame as the 'scale verses soul' debate. This year we opened our 15th café and for the first time received this accolade, which is hopefully a good sign that our soul is in good shape".
