The Nottinghamshire Food & Drink Awards 2018 in association with Fraser Brown Solicitors are back once again to celebrate the wealth of restaurants, cafes, pubs and bars that the city and county have to offer and to reward those whose culinary skills and drink menus are putting Nottinghamshire on the map.

We believe that the passion, determination, tireless energy and creativity that goes into running a top-performing hospitality venue deserves recognition and our 14 award categories are designed to honour the very best.

Winning one of these coveted awards will not only demonstrate recognition from customers but also serve as a major morale boost for the workforce.

So join us in a celebration of the best dining and drinking establishments both in the city centre and out-of-town.

You can nominate an individual or business, simply by clicking on “Click To Nominate” and completing the online form.

The closing date for nominations is on Thursday, April 26, 2018. Please note there is no limit on how many times an individual can nominate their favourite establishment.

After the closing date three finalists will be chosen in each category by our independent judging panel made up of experts from the industry, who will consider every nomination received. The finalists will then be mystery dined, with judges using a set of parameters to mark each venue.

We will then recognise and celebrate the achievements of the finalists by revealing the winners at a glittering awards ceremony at the De Vere East Midlands Conference Centre on Thursday, June 14, 2018 hosted by TV personality Joel Dommett. The awards ceremony will commence at 6.30pm with a red carpet drinks reception, followed by a three-course dinner and then the awards presentation. The official afterparty will be hosted at Bar Esquina inside Alea Casino, Nottingham.
