Celebrating Our Good Food Award Win for 2024/25

The Good Food Awards celebrate extraordinary food establishments from all around the UK. We are incredibly proud to announce that Drury 188-189 has been honoured as a 2024/25 Good Food Award winner – Gold Seal in the Café category! It’s an honour to be amongst some of the best cafés and restaurants in the UK to receive this award and it’s undoubtedly a great way to end the year! 

The Good Food Awards were established in 2002 and have since earned a reputation as one of the most recognised names in the food industry. With so many great cafés across the country, us receiving recognition once again makes us feel very proud. 

Last year, we celebrated winning their prestigious Blue Ribbon award, and this year we managed to one-up it and achieve the Gold Seal! This would not be possible without the hard work of our team here at Drury 188-189 Covent Garden and their commitment to ensuring each of our customers has an unforgettable experience here at Drury! 

On behalf of our whole team, we wanted to thank you – our customers. You made this achievement possible with all your kind reviews and encouragement. Thanks to you, not only did we manage to win this prestigious Good Food Award, but we also became the highest-rated café in London on TripAdvisor and received over 2,500 reviews on Google. 

“This award is a reflection of all of our hard work since starting our cafe,” says our co-founder Ali Kalkan. “It means the world to us to be recognised for doing what we love—and to do it with a team and a community that feels like family.”

As we head into 2025, we’re looking forward to welcoming you all to Drury and being part of the amazing memories you create here. On behalf of the whole Drury 188-189 family, we want to wish you all a very happy New Year, and we can’t wait to see you soon!

And if you haven’t had the chance to experience the magic of Drury 188-189, yet – let this be your sign. Come and see what makes us the highest-rated cafe in London. There’s something special waiting for you at Drury.
