How it works!

How the Pristine Food Awards Work

At the Pristine Food Awards, we celebrate excellence in food and hospitality by recognising the very best establishments across the United Kingdom. Entering is simple, and every entrant is given a fair and professional judging experience.

Step 1: Enter Your Best-Suited Categories

Choose the award categories that best reflect your food establishment or restaurant. Whether you’re known for your pub food, fine dining, or innovative new menu, there’s a category for you.

Step 2: Receive Your Entry Registration Form

Once you enter, you’ll receive an entry registration form via email. This short questionnaire allows you to tell us more about your restaurant, pub, bar, or food venue  helping us understand what makes you stand out.

Step 3: Judging Process & Mystery Dining

Our judging process begins with visits from mystery diners who will experience your food, service, and overall atmosphere firsthand. Their feedback, alongside our judging panel’s expertise, ensures a fair and detailed assessment.

Step 4: Transparent & Fair Entry Fees

We pride ourselves on being transparent. The entry registration fee is not for profit  it goes directly towards covering the cost of our mystery dining and judging process. In other words, you are essentially investing in a valuable professional review that gives you genuine feedback, recognition, and a chance to win a prestigious award.
