The cream of hospitality talent in Brighton & Hove were celebrated in a fabulous ceremony this week (22.11.21)
Organised by Bite Sussex in collaboration with the Sussex branch of the Institute of Hospitality, the inaugural Rising Stars awards championing careers in food and drink whilst celebrating the contribution young people make to restaurants, bars, farming and production across the two counties were held at Monarch on Kings Road in Brighton on Monday 22 November with around 120 guests in attendance.
Hosted by the BBC’s Allison Ferns and Latest TV’s Andrew Kay, there were eight categories including fishing, wine, kitchen, production, bar, front-of-house, hidden hero and Sussex champion.
Public nominations opened in the Spring with over 250 individuals aged 26 or under put forward by colleagues, guests and employers. Nominations were then carefully looked over by a panel of 18 industry experts – chaired by Sir Peter Field KCVO – before a comprehensive written submission and phone interview process took place.
