Lincolnshire businesses celebrate a night at The Moulin Rouge at The 2019 Taste of Excellence Awards

Lincolnshire Life Magazine’s twenty-second annual Taste of Excellence Awards took place on Thursday 7th November at the Engine Shed in Lincoln. Over three hundred and sixty guests from county wide businesses attended the event where fourteen awards were announced.
