After much deliberating, cogitating and digesting, the finalists for the Chesterfield Food Producer of the Year title, which is presented by Chesterfield College, have been selected.
Nine nominated food and drink producers dished up a selection of treats to Chesterfield Champions at a special tasting event held at Chesterfield College recently. Following scoring, the top three producers have been selected - Granny Mary’s Original Recipes, Northern Tea Merchants and Teresa Lambarelli’s.
The finalists will now battle it out for the overall title of Food producer of the Year at the 2017 Chesterfield Food and Drink Awards. Granny Mary’s Original Recipes, Northern Tea Merchants and Teresa Lambarelli’s are three of a total of 29 businesses that have been shortlisted across 13 categories in the fourth annual awards.
Organised by Destination Chesterfield, and sponsored by Chesterfield College, the prestigious awards recognise the very best food, drinks, service and venues in the town’s growing hospitality sector.
The winners of all the categories will be announced at a glittering awards ceremony, hosted by celebrity cake maker to the A List Mich Turner MBE, which is being held at Chesterfield College’s Heart Space building in October later this year.
Dom Stevens, Destination Chesterfield Manager said: “As ever the task of choosing just three finalists was incredibly difficult for our judging panel. They had a huge variety of food and drink to sample, from tea and real ale to sausages, cakes, potted meats and pasta sauces, reflecting the growth and diversity of Chesterfield’s food and drink scene.
“The awards are now in their fifth year and more popular than ever. Each year it gets more and more difficult to narrow the nominations down to just three finalists.”
