Nominations will close on Monday 17th August after which finalists will be announced for each category. After this, each nominated establishment will be visited by our panel of mystery judges who are looking for a welcoming, comfortable and exceptional experience which makes a delicious contribution to Derby's food and drink offer. The Local Authority food hygiene rating will also be taken into account.
The winners will be announced at the prestigious ceremony on Monday 12th October at the Roundhouse.
