Bronze for Best Steak

THE Cottage in Scone received the bronze award for best steak in Australia at the Savour Australia Restaurant and Catering Awards in Melbourne on Monday night.

Prime Restaurant in Sydney took the gold and San Telmo in Melbourne the Silver.

The awards were judged on more than 60 criteria from the entire dining experience, to food and customer service.

Colin Selwood said he is proud of what his team has achieved.

“Owning a restaurant is tough, then you add the additional degree of difficulty with a regional location and you have the recipe for a challenging work day!” said Mr Selwood.

“It’s great to be recognised by the industry. It makes all our hard work worthwhile. I have a great team and town behind me and these awards acknowledge that,” he said.

“I am passionate about the food we put on the plate and it’s great to see others are enjoying it too,” he said.

“We source some of the countries finest grass fed beef and then dry aged on site ensuring we have complete control over the end product that is served in the restaurant six weeks later,” Colin Selwood said.

Earlier this year the Cottage also took home the 2017 NSW Consumer Vote – Northern Award proving that they are not only popular with the judges but also the public.
