Also speaking at the awards, cook, restaurateur, TV presenter and author Dame Prue Leith said: “I am thrilled to be part of the Uber Eats Restaurant of the Year Awards for the second year of the programme. I was hugely impressed by all the finalists, and by the food they served on the judging day. Sandwich Sandwich was particularly imaginative, inventive and delicious.
