AND now the end is near.

But before our Food and Drink Awards finishes for another year, we're serving up one final course.

Over the past seven weeks, we have been celebrating the best dishes, bars and takeaways across our sister titles Northwich, Winsford and Middlewich, Knutsford and Wilmslow Guardian. 

A new category has been revealed every Monday evening on our website appealing for your suggestions.

The most popular are then entered into an online ballot on Friday lunchtimes where readers can vote for their favourites.

The overall winners will be revealed in a special supplement in the paper later this spring.

Whether it's Chinese, Spanish or you simply know somewhere that serves the best steak in town we want to hear from you as we search for readers' favourite restaurants in Northwich, Winsford, Middlewich, Knutsford and Wilmslow.

Post your suggestions in the comments section below, tweet them to us or post them on our Facebook wall.

And don’t forget to check on Friday if your favourite has made the cut when we launch our online vote.
