COWBOYS LEAGUES CLUB THE BEST IN AUSTRALIA
ACCORDING to Savour Australia, the Cowboys Leagues Club is the best restaurant in a pub, club or tavern in Australia. The Club was presented this esteemed accolade last month at the 2012 Savour Australia restaurant and catering HOSTPLUS awards for excellence in Brisbane. “The Club was very proud to be named the best restaurant in a pub, club or tavern in North Queensland, but to be considered by the judges to be the best in the country is something very special,” General Manager Clint Williams said. The restaurant and catering awards have just celebrated their 15th year with a total 1400 businesses participating in this year’s program. CEO of restaurant and catering John Hart said “the awards for excellence represent an important moment as the industry pauses to honour the outstanding winning venues for their great talent, innovation, and commitment and to celebrate such well deserved accolades.” The Cowboys Leagues Club was assessed by trained judges who dined anonymously to review the experience according to predetermined, research based and standardised set of criteria, making it the only truly systematic restaurant industry awards program in Australia. Executive chef Thomas Martyn had to not only impress the judges once, but several times, to ensure that his mouth watering cooking was not just a one off occurrence. Mr Martyn has been with the Club for just over a year and his focus for the upcoming 12 months is to provide members and guests with a restaurant quality experience without the expensive price tag. “It is something we have begun to do quite well and our members really appreciate it,” he said. Mr Williams believes he has an exceptional team of staff members who go above and beyond the call of duty for members and guests every day. “We are obviously very proud to win such a sought after award, but we won’t stop trying to improve. Our goal will always be to make every visit a memorable one for our members.
