Double win for Marston’s Menus

Marston’s hit the double at the 2025 Menu Innovation and Development Awards (MIDAS) picking up two major awards for Best Kids Menu and Best Carvery / Sunday concept; accepted on the night by Kevin Woodyet, Head of Food Category Management, and Tom Revitt, Senior Food Development Manager.

Established in 2008, the MIDAS awards recognise and celebrate outstanding achievements in the foodservice industry, honouring creativity, innovation and exceptional menu development. A team of mystery diners and expert judges with considerable experience of multi-unit disciplined menu operations assess each shortlisted menu concept before deciding the winners in each of the categories.

Last year Marston’s pubs sold more than two million carvery meals to its guests, making it the Group’s highest selling menu item of the year. Meanwhile, Marston’s Kids Menus have long been a firm favourite for families up and down the country, supported by special offers and eye-catching partnerships including its “Kids eat for £1” deal last month and Marston’s limited-edition Paddington inspired kid’s menu (available until 30th March).

Commenting on the double win, Kevin Woodyet, Head of Food Category Management at Marston’s, said:

“We are extremely proud of our pub menus, which are fuelled by our industry leading guest insight, the best product and emerging consumer trends to ensure we’re serving our guests the food they love every time they visit a Marston’s pub.

“To win not one but two prestigious awards for our Carvery and Kids menus is testament to the effort our teams put into menu development and the variety of occasions our pubs support in their local communities, from low tempo Sunday roasts to fun filled family meals out.”
