Taste Cheshire Awards Nominees 2017

Organisers of the Taste Cheshire Awards have again reported a record number of votes cast in the Annual Hospitality Awards. This is the 18th year of these awards and previous winners represent the finest establishments anywhere in the UK. This year's winners will be joining an illustrious role of honour when they are presented with their awards at the ceremony on the 19th April in the Pavilion at Chester Racecourse.

Taste Cheshire General manager, Lisa Edwards said that over 40,000 votes were cast in what was yet another amazing voting period. "Last year we exceeded 30,000 votes and we thought that would take some beating but we have again exceeded that figure with another 25% increase. People simply love to vote for their favourite place to eat, drink and buy the best the county has to offer. Now comes the hard part for our judges.

The voting process has now finished and below are listed the nominations in each category. Nominees will now be mystery dined and shopped by our judging panel with the difficult job of finding the winners.
