SPA restaurant, caf and pub owners who think their business is a cut above the rest are being invited to take part in the county council's Tastes of Worcestershire competition.

There are two new categories this year, the best Worcestershire breakfast and caf/tea shops, in addition to restaurants and pub/inns.

Category winners will be able to represent the county in the regional food and drink competition, run by the Heart of England Tourist Board.

Tourism officer, Kathryn Wagstaff, said: "We know there are a lot of places out there that could win this competition and we want to help them get the recognition they deserve for the good food and drink that they serve.

"We hope that we get a good response."
