This year’s 26th annual Peter Wilson Dinner will welcome founders of Murphy Hospitality Group, Kevin and Kathy Murphy. Operating out of Prince Edward Island, Murphy Hospitality Group first come to fruition in 1980 from the hands of Kevin and Kathy Murphy. From the early beginnings, MHG was based on these basic principles – friendly & knowledgeable staff, great food and beer, clean and comfortable locations and providing an extraordinary experience. 40 years later, they still stand by this. When Kevin and Kathy Murphy opened their first restaurant in 1980, they ran the restaurant, were the hosts, the dishwashers and worked all aspects of the business.

They have grown immensely since then, now owning and operating 16 restaurants, 2 hotels, the PEI brewing company and a catering division all across the Atlantic provinces. That came with a lot of hard work, great people, and a little bit of luck along the way. Murphy Hospitality Group has always been a family run business. Kevin, Kathy and their three sons, Ben, Sam and Isaac, are all integral parts of the company. If you visit any of their restaurants or breweries, you may see one of them running around, getting acquainted with their staff and guests. Although some things have changed over the years, their principles remain the same.

Our 2023 Peter Wilson Dinner will take place this fall on Thursday, November 23rd at the Westin Nova Scotian Hotel. We are looking forward to hearing from this inspiring couple on their incredible business journey, and can’t wait to have you join us.
