Foodie family judges wanted to help find Chesterfield’s best family-friendly restaurant

Two foodie families are being sought to decide which of Chesterfield’s eateries should take the Best Family-Friendly title in the 2016 Food and Drink Awards.

Destination Chesterfield, organiser of the town’s annual Food and Drink Awards, is looking for families with children aged under 12, to judge shortlisted family-friendly establishments in the annual awards.

The Family-Friendly Award aims to find the town’s ultimate eatery that offers great food, excellent facilities for young children, special menus and goes that extra step to make sure families can enjoy their dining experience. As well as enjoying a meal, the winning families will be required to mark the establishments on food, ease of access, cleanliness and the quality and variety of children’s food. Last year the popular award, which is sponsored by Jumble Design, was won for the second year running by The Manor at Brampton.

Each family will win an all-expenses-paid meal for four, the lucky winners will also each receive two tickets to attend the glittering awards ceremony in October at Chesterfield College’s Heart Space Building.

Destination Chesterfield Manager Dominic Stevens commented: “We get many nominations in the family friendly category, so there are no shortages of eateries to try out. Who better to help us decide the winner of the title but families themselves. This competition is a great chance for families in the area to voice their opinion and get to enjoy a meal out too.”

Entries to the competition close on midnight on Thursday 30 June and can be made online at www.chesterfield.co.uk/foodanddrinkawards/family-judge-competition/ or by post to:
