The Event
THE MENU FOOD & DRINK AWARDS
Utilising and extending the popular ‘menu’ brand, the Menu Food & Drink Awards will celebrate and recognise producers and purveyors of quality food and drink, with emphasis on originality, across the Tayside region.
In addition, entrepreneurial flair will be celebrated, in acknowledgment of the fantastic examples of innovation in this industry.
Nominations will come from individuals and businesses, as well an element of reader engagement in the form of online voting for a specific category.
The Awards will be a truly representative accolade of public and professional opinions.
Hosted at a prestigious Old Course Hotel, St Andrews on the 15th March 2018, but with collaboration amongst the top hotels and chefs in the industry, this event will be truly unique.
The emphasis of the awards is of course food and drink and therefore this will be the focus of the event; Each course will be a celebration of the individual chef, and very much served in style, with complementing wine.
Our ambition is for these awards to become a mainstay of the industry events calendar, and we hope you will join us to make this happen.
