Welcome to the first Advertiser & Times Food & Drink Awards.
Our area is home to incredible food and drink offerings, where both old-favourites and start-up brands continue not only to survive but thrive, often against the odds.
We felt it was time to give the people behind these culinary successes a pat on the back ... and so these awards were born.
With nominations made by the public and the winners selected by a panel of independent industry experts, the awards aim to give credit where it is truly due and recognise those who work tirelessly to deliver exceptional food and drink.
So whether your local pub landlord deserves a moment to shine or there’s a rising star in the culinary community that people need to know about, we want to hear from you!
You can nominate any food and drink business or individual based in the New Milton Advertiser & Lymington Times circulation area. There’s no limit to how many nominations you can make - just fill in the simple form here, telling us what makes yours a cut above the rest.
Nominations are open until 5pm on Friday, January 31 2025.
The three businesses or individuals with the most nominations per category will then be shortlisted and the winners chosen by a panel of independent, industry-expert judges.
Together with our sponsors and partners, we will announce our winners at a special reception at Balmer Lawn Hotel, Brockenhurst, on Tuesday, March 25 2025.
Don't miss out on a chance to showcase your foodie favourites!
