Catering businesses to go head to head
DERBYSHIRE businesses will go head to head in a prestigious competition next week.
The Derbyshire Food and Drink Awards, run by Derbyshire County Council (DCC), celebrate the county’s best catering businesses serving locally sourced food. Winners will be crowned during a ceremony hosted by TV chef Simon Rimmer at Chatsworth on Monday.
Cllr Kevin Parkinson, DCC Cabinet Member for Regeneration, said: “We’re lucky to have some fabulous talent in the food and drink industry in Derbyshire and our awards celebrate the county’s many excellent restaurants, pubs, cafes and bistros. Our judges had a very difficult time shortlisting and those named as winners in our ceremony at Chatsworth will be very deserving of their awards.”
