READY for a new category?

The Warrington Guardian Food and Drink Awards are back and this year we’re mixing things up like never before.

Over the next two months, you’ll be able to have your say on a variety of new categories including best butcher, readers’ favourite café or tea shop and our family dining award.

We will launch each category with a shortlist put together by Warrington Guardian judges based on TripAdvisor and Facebook reviews.

But if your favourite isn’t on our list, it doesn’t mean they’re not in with a chance of winning.

All you need to do is send in the name of your winner using the form below, comment underneath the post on our Facebook page or tweet your winner to @Warringtonnews Only one vote will be counted from each email address.

The winner will be the pub or bar with the most votes and will be announced in a special supplement in the Warrington Guardian newspaper this summer.

Keep your eyes peeled on the Warrington Guardian website and social media pages as there will be two categories every week for you to have your say on.

READ: Warrington's favourite independent trader

Our second category is Warrington's favourite pub or bar.

One of our most hotly contested categories, who will take the crown as our 2018 pub of the year?

Maybe they do the best roast dinner, pull the perfect pint or have the widest choice of cocktails.
