YOU’VE got till midnight on Thursday, September 27 to vote for your favourites in the Manchester Food and Drink Awards 2018. It’s not an easy choice. When the shortlists were announced we suggested it might be the most exciting line-up in the Manchester Food and Drink Festival's 21 year history.
The ultimate winners, to be announced at the Festival’s Gala Dinner at Gorton Monastery on Monday, May 8, will be judged by you, the public, and a panel of the region’s leading food and drink critics and experts.
For your chance to make a difference go to the nomination list on the MFDF website.
The awards are the most sought-after and highly anticipated in the North West and celebrate the innovative and high quality restaurants, bars and individuals who contribute to the hospitality industry in the region. They are recognised by the industry and consumers alike as setting the standard in food and drink.
