There are 20 food and drink businesses from Greater Manchester hoping to win gold at the annual Food Awards England. Eateries from five of the boroughs are nominated across 14 categories.
Highlights include the Fat Loaf, in Ashton-upon-Mersey, which is up for the prestigious 'Restaurant of the Year' award, and Manchester-based burger and shakes chain Archie's, which has been nominated in two categories.
Winners will be crowned at a black-tie ceremony inside the Mercure Manchester Piccadilly next month.
