Local diners are being invited to give their views on Christchurch eateries by voting for their favourite restaurants, cafes, tearooms or pubs in the town in Christchurch Food & Wine Festival's Best of the Best awards.
The Coastline Best of the Best Awards 2012 aim to reward those establishments in Christchurch who provide their customers with the best food, the best service and the most enjoyable overall experience.
Getting involved is easy. People can vote either on a paper nomination form, which will be available from any establishment serving food and/or wine in the BH23 postcode area, or vote on the Food Festival website at www.christchurchfoodfest.co.uk.
Financial sponsorship from the Rotary Club of Christchurch will increase the number of workshops offered at this year's Kids' Kitchen, held as part of Christchurch Food & Wine Festival.
The Rotary sponsorship will also widen the age range for the workshops from three years old to 14 years old. Waitrose in Christchurch is supporting the workshops by providing the food that will be cooked by the young chefs.
The Kids' Kitchen workshops, organised by Christchurch Food Festival Education Trust as part of its commitment to the promotion of healthy eating, will be held in the Priory School on the same days as the International Food Market - Saturday 12 May and Sunday 13 May.
