Marketing Derby managing director John Forkin said: “Each year the Derby Food and Drink Awards go from strength to strength. They are now firmly established in Derby’s awards calendar and are keenly awaited and hotly contested. Marketing Derby are proud to co-ordinate these awards to help shine the light on the very best that Derby has to offer.”
Nominations will close on 18th August after which finalists will be announced for each category. After this, each nominated establishment will be visited by our panel of mystery judges. Judges are looking for a welcoming, comfortable and exceptional experience which makes a delicious contribution to Derby's Food & Drink offer. The Local Authority food hygiene rating will also be taken into account.
The winners will be announced at the prestigious ceremony on the 9th October.
Media partners for the ceremony include Derby Telegraph. Sponsors include Roundhouse Events, Royal Crown Derby, Burnthebook, the University of Derby, Riverlights Derby and Denby Pottery.
