Pizza Hut wins 'Best Family Restaurant' award
19/03/2008
Pizza Hut - the UK's leading pizza restaurant and delivery chain - has been voted the 'Best Family Restaurant' by baby charity Tommy's. The award, which Pizza Hut UK is proud to have won for the third year in a row, was presented at a star-studded awards ceremony at London's Mandarin Oriental Hotel on Friday, 14th March.
Voted for by parents, the Tommy's Parent Friendly Awards aim to raise the awareness of family needs, whilst acknowledging companies that have taken family needs into consideration and improved the overall standard of facilities on offer. More than half a million votes were cast by parents up and down the country to identify winners in 18 different categories including Best Family Restaurant, Best Supermarket and Best High Street Retailer.
Claudia Magielsen, Retail Director for Pizza Hut UK says,
"Looking after families has always been at the heart of our business. We really pride ourselves on offering families a relaxed and informal setting to dine with children and provide helpful facilities such as highchairs, baby changing areas, kids activity booklets and tailored kid's menu. We were delighted to win this award, which recognises that parents are confident that when they visit us, they will receive high quality, great-tasting food in a child-friendly, casual environment, which can be enjoyed by the whole family."
Jane Brewin, Chief Executive of Tommy's, said:
"We are proud to be able to reward the most parent friendly organisations that are giving parents and parents-to-be a helping hand. Pizza Hut is a prime example of a company that is constantly looking at innovative ways to make its restaurants more parent friendly and we're extremely pleased to be able to recognise their achievements with the Best Restaurant Award."
Pizza Hut has a family-oriented policy, which saw the chain become the first to introduce a blanket no-smoking policy across all of its stores in 2003. It uses nothing but the best quality ingredients, with all pizzas being freshly made to order in store and a high-profile programme to reduce the salt, fat and sugar content of many of its menu items.
