Chesterfield Food and Drink Awards Declared a Sell-Out!
Celebrity chef, Ainsley Harriott will be in town next week (29 October) to host Chesterfield’s annual Food and Drink Awards. Organised by Destination Chesterfield and sponsored by Chesterfield College, the awards this year are a sell-out.
230 guests – nearly double the amount that attended last year’s awards, will come together to celebrate the success of the town’s food and drink industry at the glittering ceremony.
38 businesses and individuals are up for 13 awards which will be announced on the night by celebrity chef, Ainsley Harriot. He said: “I am delighted to be involved with the Chesterfield Food and Drink Awards once again. Everybody tells me the awards have created a new standard in food in the town, which is very exciting.”
The awards are being held at Chesterfield College’s Heart Space building in which 30 catering and hospitality students from the college are catering and silver serving the evening’s menu.
This is the second year the College has sponsored the Chesterfield Food and Drink Awards and it has committed to sponsoring them until 2015. Trevor Clay, Principal of Chesterfield College said: “Having seen the success of the first awards evening in 2013 there was no way that we didn’t want to be involved again. As part of our commitment to serving the local community we feel it’s important to celebrate all that is good about the town and certainly the quality of our food and drinks businesses are well worth celebrating.
“The 2013 event, which was catered for by our students and held in the College’s Heart Space building, was a fantastic night which brought together a wide variety of amazing people and businesses. As such, we naturally want to be involved again and we’re sure this year’s awards will be even bigger and better.”
