After almost 200 nominations and just short of 30,000 votes in the six weeks since we launched The Staff Canteen Awards, it was a tight race which took many unexpected turns.

Here are the winners in each of The Staff Canteen award categories:

Lockdown Community hero
Charlie D'Lima, chef @ Paul Ainsworth at No. 6

KP of the Year
Salvatore 'Salvo' Forcisi, The Art School Restaurant, Liverpool

Seasonal and Sustainable dish
Liam Cocken, sous-chef de cuisine, La Popote, Cheshire

Social media influencer
Poppy O'Toole, self-employed

One to Watch
Sean Wrest, sous-chef at Roots, York

Chef of the year
Peter McKenna, chef and owner of The Gannet, Glasgow

The awards would by no means have been possible had it not been for our sponsors: headliner Koppert Cress, Meiko, Major International, Rational, Bord Bia, Gusbourne and WPA.
