Ronnie Sommerville of event organisers 5pm.co.uk said: "Although Atrium and Blue have closed, the reasons for giving Neil Forbes the award didn't suddenly disappear. His contribution to the Scottish restaurant scene still stands and many of the chefs who have benefited from his quarter century of experience will testify to that - as will the local producers whose businesses can continue, at least in part, because of Neil's passion for Scottish produce.

"There is no doubt that Forbes will continue to contribute to Scottish food for many years to come. If you want to discover what commitment to the local food chain tastes like, then Neil is cooking at Cafe St Honoré."
