Revolution wins City Bar Dining award at Midas 2017


The nationwide operator of premium cocktail bars and restaurants, Revolution Bars Group has just scooped the best City Bar Dining award at this year’s annual Menu Innovation and Development Awards (MIDAS).

A team of mystery diners and judges with experience of multi-unit disciplined menu operations, had been tasked with deciding the winners in each of the 28 categories, including City Bar Dining which Revolution triumphed.

The Revolution brand is driven by a premium proposition of experimental cocktails, coupled with a menu of contemporary British and Stateside classics including pizzas, burgers and wraps. The Revolution portfolio now boasts 67 sites including Southend-on-Sea, set to open next month.

Mark Rush, Head of Food Innovation at Revolution Bar Group, commented, “It’s an honour to collect this award from MIDAS on behalf of the group and great to see our menus celebrated and recognised by our customers and peers. Our team is always looking at the new trends and constantly evolve the menu, ensuring it stays current and attractive to our target market.”

The MIDAS Awards were founded in 2009 by Inside Food Service Ltd, to recognise the outstanding creative talents of menu development managers and group executive chefs within the multi-unit and chain restaurant sectors of foodservice industry.

In return for being the driving force behind Revolution’s win, Mark Rush will join the other category winners alongside the Menu Innovation Network on a five-day culinary insight tour of Chicago this May, where they will be visiting the NRA Show, discovering the latest US food trends and going behind-the-scenes at Chicago’s leading restaurants and fast casual chains.
