Celebrating the best in the county
The Lincoln Hotel, Eastgate, Lincoln was the venue for this year’s joint presentation of the Lincolnshire Life County Cuisine Awards and the Tastes of Lincolnshire Food, Tourism and Hospitality Awards.
Over ninety finalists and invited guests gathered to hear the results of the competitions and enjoy drinks, delicious canapés and afternoon tea courtesy of the Lincoln Hotel and members of Tastes of Lincolnshire.
Mary Powell, Team Leader for Tourism and Visitor Economy and Cllr Eddy Poll made the presentations on behalf of Tastes of Lincolnshire and Caroline Bingham, chief executive of County Life Ltd, on behalf of Lincolnshire Life.
The Lincolnshire Life County Cuisine Awards are judged over four categories. Nominations are received from readers of the magazine, via nomination forms and from our website and from customers who collect nomination forms when they visit establishments in person. The three highest scoring establishments in each category are visited by our judges anonymously who score them according to quality of cuisine and use of local produce, ambiance, quality of service and value for money.
Our sponsors for the Cuisine Awards are Heart of Gold Lincolnshire rapeseed oil who sponsor our Best Tea Shop category, Tastes of Lincolnshire who sponsor our Best Pub Restaurant section and House of Townend Wines who sponsor the Best Restaurant category.
