Six Lichfield businesses are bidding to be named the best in the county at the Taste of Staffordshire Good Food Awards.

Chapters Café, Pom’s Kitchen & Deli, Darwin’s Restaurant at The George Hotel, the Four Seasons Restaurant at Swinfen Hall, Netherstowe House and Clive’s Wines are all up for prizes at the event being held at Lichfield Cathedral this evening.

They will be joining other businesses from across the region battling it out in 10 categories, including tea room/coffee shop of the year, pub of the year and independent restaurant of the year.

Destination Staffordshire’s Graeme Whitehead said: “We’ve put together the Taste of Staffordshire Good Food Awards to celebrate the best food and drink businesses in Staffordshire.

“They are going above and beyond to deliver the best experience to their customers and promote sustainability by using local produce as much as possible.

“It promises to be an excellent night, in magnificent surroundings, and we look forward to giving them the recognition they deserve for their hard work.”
