The legendary chef Michel Roux was presented with the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award at the annual Catey Awards on Tuesday night, honouring his 31 years leading the kitchen at Le Gavroche and his part in training the next generation.
Roux, who closed Le Gavroche at the beginning of the year, and opened Chez Roux at The Langham hotel in May, was among numerous winners at the Cateys, put on by The Caterer magazine and known by some as the “Oscars of the hospitality industry”.
