Food and drink businesses are being urged to get their entries in for this year’s prestigious Derbyshire Food and Drink Awards, which are being sponsored by Greenhalgh Chartered Accountants and Business Advisors’.
Derbyshire County Council is organising the awards for the ninth year and they will be presented at a ceremony held in Thornbridge Hall, Ashford-in-the-Water, on Monday 8th November, which will be hosted by celebrity TV chef Brian Turner.
Businesses should return their applications to Steph Walsh at Derbyshire County Council by 10th September to be considered for the short-list.
Entries are invited from any catering business service locally sourced food and promoting it on their menus.
The categories this year are:
- Derbyshire Restaurant of the Year
- Derbyshire Gastro Pub of the Year
- Derbyshire Traditional Pub of the Year
- Derbyshire Coffee House/Tearoom of the Year
- Derbyshire’s Best International Restaurant
- Derbyshire Café of the Year
- Derbyshire Local Food Hero 2010
Venues are judged on a number of criteria including the quality of food and drink, customer service and use of county produce with acknowledgement of it on its menus.
In conjunction with the 2010 Food and Drink Awards, the Tourist Board is launching a new accreditation scheme for the Derbyshire food and drink industry called ‘Taste Derbyshire’. Short-listed venues for the 2010 Derbyshire Food Awards will be ‘mystery-visited’ and judged by Quality in Tourism Assessors as part of this new scheme. Shortlisted venues will benefit from this new scheme, as they will receive the relevant accreditation free of charge.
Cabinet member (elect) for regeneration Councillor Simon Spencer said: “Our awards help to showcase the top quality produce and food establishments across Derbyshire and we’re proud to be holding them again.”
Businesses that haven’t received an application form but would like to enter should contact county council tourism officer Stephanie Walsh on 01629 538464 or e-mail stephanie.walsh@derbyshire.gov.uk
