The best hotels, restaurants and staff in the UK have been unveiled - and some of the winners are just a stone's throw away from Liverpool.
The prestigious AA Hospitality Awards seek to recognise and acknowledge the crème de la crème of the hospitality industry, with this year's swanky ceremony held at Grosvenor House in London this week, and hosted by presenter Gabby Logan. This was the first in-person ceremony for three years.
Among the winners was Mark Birchall, renowned for his work at the popular Moor Hall. He trained at Runshaw College before going on to establish himself as a true talent in the culinary world.
