At a ceremony on April 9, the British High Commissioner to The Bahamas, His Excellency Thomas Hartley presented Graycliff Hotel and Restaurant with the first-ever Blue Plaque for excellence awarded outside of the United Kingdom.
The British Blue Plaque is a symbol of exceptional standards recognizing venues that rise above other establishments and into a higher echelon. Awarded for outstanding contributions to promoting English wines and spirits in The Bahamas, the plaque signifies both the UK’s appreciation and gratitude, as commended by the British High Commissioner, and Graycliff’s unwavering commitment to excellence that patrons can always expect.

Graycliff Hotel & Restaurant is the first recipient of the new British award anywhere in the world. With a long-standing reputation for showcasing rare British gins and Scotch whisky two award-winning English Sparkling Wines were recently added to the world-renowned wine cellar.
While presenting the award, the British High Commissioner said, “I am charged with bringing Britain and The Bahamas closer together. We’re doing this through trade, education, and sport, and through food and drink. Our very first success was getting a Bahamian rum into the UK market – Bassetts may soon be an international prize winner. And we are now celebrating Graycliff for their promotion of the finest British spirits and English wines. Congratulations to Enrico, Annamaria, and the whole Graycliff team, we’re so proud to present this award to you.”
Enrico Garzaroli thanked the High Commissioner, saying “At Graycliff, we believe in exceeding expectations and embracing innovation. Receiving the British Blue Plaque from the British High Commission underscores our role as pioneers in showcasing the finest British wines and spirits in The Bahamas. We also extend our heartfelt thanks to our dedicated staff for their passion and expertise as we continue to elevate standards and create memorable experiences for our patrons.”
