The Race is on!

Now in their ninth amazing year, the biggest night out in the local industry’s calendar has been re-invented again for next year and we can promise an even bigger, bolder and more exciting night out than last year’s ‘sold out’ affair.

And for this year we have a brand new category – the LCN Chef of the Year title. We’ll be looking for a chef who excels at what he or she does. Someone who, by dint of their own innovation, has made a lasting mark on the profession or who, through creativity and hard work, has built a successful business or established a personal reputation for excellence. If you are that chef, or if you know a chef who might have a chance at this latest LCN title, then get your entry form in today.

These awards cover every aspect of the hospitality and leisure sectors locally, offering recognition and reward to those hotels, pubs, clubs, restaurants, cafes and take-aways who are independently judged to be at the very top of their game. The 2018 event enjoyed an unprecedented response from the local trades and a capacity audience of finalists, friends and industry colleagues celebrated in style during a thoroughly spectacular gala evening in the Europa Hotel in June.

As always, we’re promising more for the 2019 competition – with a fresh line-up of sponsors and a comprehensive array of categories covering every aspect of hospitality, you can be sure that the LCN Awards will once again be the leading event in the industry’s social calendar for the New Year.

Last year’s successful new category – Outside Space of the Year and Tourist Pub of the Year – are back again this year. The closing date for entries to the 2019 LCN Awards will be noon on March 22 next year. You can enter the awards now using the form below. For more details regarding he criteria and requirements attached to each category, please click on the ‘criteria’ tab. Remember too, that all finalists will have a complimentary VIP ticket for the big gala evening in Belfast next year.
