With 13 categories up for grabs, including Best Nottinghamshire Restaurant and Best Outdoor Space, there are two new gongs this year: Best Young Talent Back of House and Best Young Talent Front of House. Each is aimed at ‘rewarding and retaining young people within the industry’:

For these, venues must submit their application forms for paper judging before 12 October, with four finalists from each to compete for the winning title in November.

The rest are open for public voting until the 12 October closing date. All winners will be announced 31 January 2019.

Managing director of Adtrak (award lead sponsors), Chris Robinson, commented: “Adtrak is keen to support Nottingham and the UK in whatever way we can. 

“Supporting such a historically successful event as The Nottingham Restaurant and Bar Awards is a commitment we’re proud to undertake and with our expertise in digital marketing, this event now has an extraordinary reach which will only be of commercial benefit to all those venues that actively participate – and, as it’s free to be involved – it’s a win-win.”
