Taste Our Best at the Golden Jubilee Conference Hotel

As purveyors of fresh, local food and produce, the Golden Jubilee Conference Hotel is delighted to receive the Taste Our Best Award from VisitScotland for the second successive year.

The Taste Our Best Award celebrates restaurants and dining venues in Scotland who strive to deliver sustainable, high quality, local, fresh food and ingredients on a daily basis for their customers. 

This accreditation, which is recognised by the national tourism organisation for Scotland, makes the Conference Hotel part of an elite list of dining venues across the country. 

Gary Rice, General Manager of the Golden Jubilee Conference Hotel, said: “It is a huge honour to again be awarded the Taste Our Best Award from Visit Scotland.

“Here at the Golden Jubilee Conference Hotel we are very proud to be able to serve our delegates and guests with delightful meals that include local, fresh ingredients of the highest quality.

 “We always try to source and use suppliers that are dedicated to supporting the welfare of animals while considering waste reduction, delivery and packaging and other elements that can have a negative and harmful impact on the environment.”

The Golden Jubilee has a proven and committed track record of sustainability which has been acknowledged with the Conference Hotel receiving the Green Tourism Gold Standard for the last four years in a row.

Last year, the Clydebank venue was recognised for consistently delivering an excellent level of customer satisfaction and was inducted into the TripAdvisor Hall of Fame. The Hotel has also received five consecutive VenueVerdict Gold Accreditations.

Gary added: “I am very proud of our team who work hard every day to ensure we continually deliver the highest possible standard of service to each of our guests and delegates.

“We are always looking for new, innovative and exciting ways to give our customers those all important added extras, whether this is free Wifi access or our electric car charging points, making sure we are providing the elite standard of service we are known for.”
