The Queen’s Head in Dorking has been named the winner of this year’s Griffin Trophy
Michael Turner, the chairman, said: “The owner of The Queen’s Head, Manu Bhatt, is a highly entrepreneurial and creative operator and his experience from his travels comes through at The Queen’s Head. It’s been a tough time to be running a hospitality business during the last 20 months – but Manu has not only ridden out this turbulent period – he’s exited the pandemic in a fantastically strong position. Outdoor dining has grown in popularity – and Manu has invested £70,000 in covering his garden, which is on quite an incline, with a giant tepee – almost trebling the number of covers he can serve from his tiny kitchen. It is this sort of ingenuity that makes Manu an outstanding winner of The Griffin Trophy.”
