The Caterer is a weekly UK business magazine for hospitality professionals.
The publication covers all areas of the hospitality industry (including restaurants, hotels, foodservice, pubs and bars) providing news, analysis and features about senior industry professionals, businesses and trends. It also includes monthly reviews of the latest hospitality products, from kitchen equipment to food and beverages.
Caterer and Hotelkeeper (now The Caterer), first issued in 1878, was published by Reed Business Information until 2012, when it was bought by Travel Weekly Group owner Clive Jacobs.[1]
It employs about 30 staff and is based in Victoria, London, UK. It is published by the Travel Weekly Group. As of 2 July 2014, the editor is Amanda Afiya.
On 2 July 2014, Caterer and Hotelkeeper rebranded as The Caterer. Its coverage of the industry stayed the same but the name was changed and the website rebranded to adapt to the growing digital age. Former editor Mark Lewis was promoted to publisher, and former managing editor Amanda Afiya was promoted to editor.
