Food & Drink Awards | 13 October 2026
Latest winners feature in updated food and drink guide
To celebrate the crowning of the latest Food and Drink Awards winners, Marketing Derby has produced an updated guide containing the best places to eat and drink in the city.
The guide, which contains all our previous winners, was first produced in 2023 to mark the 15th anniversary of the awards.

This year, the guide, once again kindly sponsored by the University of Derby, has been updated to include last night’s recipients – most of whom are independents and unique to Derby.
Hospitality is a notoriously tough sector in which to operate, but these businesses all share one thing in common: a recipe for success.
In the face of challenges – from pandemics to the cost-of-living crisis – they deliver excellence.
From pubs and restaurants to cafés and other outlets, if you’re looking for the best places to eat and drink in Derby, the Derby Food and Drink Guide has you covered.

Physical copies of the new guide are now available to collect from the Derby City Lab, which is in Derby Market Hall.
