Editorial Policy – The Sticky Beak Blog
Effective Date: 01/01/2026
At The Sticky Beak Blog, our aim is to provide honest, engaging, and independent content covering food, drink, events, and local news across Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, and South Yorkshire.
Editorial Independence
All content published on The Sticky Beak Blog is created independently. Editorial decisions are not influenced by advertisers, sponsors, or affiliate partners. Where commercial relationships exist, these are clearly disclosed.
Accuracy and Fairness
We strive to ensure all information is accurate at the time of publication. Content is based on first-hand experience, reputable sources, information provided by businesses and event organisers, or verified third-party material. Opinions expressed are genuine and reflect our honest views.
Reviews and Invitations
Some reviews may be based on complimentary meals, tickets, or invitations. Acceptance of hospitality does not guarantee positive coverage. All reviews reflect our honest experience and opinion.
Press Releases and Third-Party Content
We accept relevant third-party press releases and information from businesses, organisations, and PR agencies. Submission of a press release does not guarantee publication. All press releases are subject to editorial review and may be edited for clarity, length, tone, or accuracy.
Affiliate and Sponsored Content
Affiliate links and sponsored content may appear on the site. Any such content is clearly identified in line with UK advertising standards. Sponsored content will never be presented as independent editorial without disclosure.
Corrections and Updates
If an error is identified, we will correct it promptly. Updates may be made to reflect changes such as opening times, pricing, or event details.
User Contributions
We welcome story tips and submissions from readers and businesses. All submissions are subject to editorial review and may be edited for clarity, style, or length. We reserve the right to decline content that does not align with our editorial standards.
Tone and Style
Our content is written to be accessible, friendly, and informative, while remaining respectful to individuals and businesses featured.
