An industry-voted award for a UK-based chef
Eight years ago we set out to create a series of awards that were unique. We wanted to impartially identify the very best in the game, judged by experts who could draw on real-life experiences to inform their vote. They had to be people with unrivalled knowledge and passion for travel and food. They had to be people like you. Unlike other industry awards, ours are entirely nominated and voted on by Food and Travel readers. So rack your brains and give credit where it’s due by submitting nominations today. Whether they be a neighbourhood restaurant or bed and breakfast host that went the extra mile, a great airline or an unsung deli, now’s the time to give your travel and food heroes the recognition they deserve. Whatever has impressed you over the past 12 months, we want to hear about it. Visit foodandtravel.com/awards to have your say.
