Anglian Country Inns director of food Harry Kodagoda was crowned Best Group Chef in the pubs category.
Year end
Restaurant editor Stefan Chomka said: “As 2014 draws to a close and restaurants and pubs fill up with Christmas revellers, many multi-site chefs will be looking forward to a bit of time off and the opportunity to start planning for the year ahead.
“During this period of respite make sure you turn your attention to our Development Chef Awards 2015, which are now open for entries.”
