The Uber Eats Restaurant of the Year Awards are returning for 2024, featuring a competitive lineup of 130 restaurants across the UK and Ireland, representing over 40 cuisine types, vying for a £100,000 grand prize. Food enthusiasts can vote for their favorite shortlisted restaurants until October 4, after which finalists will present their 'hero dish' to a panel of judges, which includes the renowned chef Andi Oliver. All regional winners will receive a £5,000 prize and additional support to foster their business growth. Uber Eats aims to spotlight and support small independent restaurants, with General Manager Matthew Price emphasizing their crucial role in the platform's success. Each shortlisted restaurant has the opportunity to significantly enhance their visibility and business prospects through this recognition. The awards culminate in November with the announcement of the overall winner.
