Speaking after the Award presentation, Kevin Clarke of Oysters Strabane said: “"To have been nominated with the other four finalists in the 'Restaurant of the Year’ category was an honour in itself but to walk away with the top prize on the evening was mind-blowing. We try to do the best that we can in every facet of our business and this has been a tremendous reward for us."
Congratulating Oysters on their achievement, Anthony Mulligan, sales manager, Flogas, category sponsor of the Restaurant of the Year Award said: “ Flogas are delighted once again to be sponsors of the coveted LCN "Restaurant Of The Year" award and congratulate the winners, Oysters Restaurant, Strabane and indeed all the finalists and entrants in this category. Flogas have been pleased to be suppliers to the catering and licensed trade for over 30 years now and it has been a very satisfactory and mutually rewarding relationship.
