This is Scunthorpe --A NORTH Lincolnshire restaurant is hoping to be crowned the winner of our Eat Local competition.
Jade Pavilion is holding a special host night to show customers why it is the top Chinese restaurant in the area.
Eat Local is your chance to nominate and help a venue win the coveted award of best restaurant.
It has replaced our Restaurant of the Year award and will be bigger and better than ever.
Jade Pavilion, on Wendover Road in Messingham, will be holding a host night on Friday, June 21 from 5pm to 11pm as part of the awards.
For just £13 a head, customers can get a selection of great food off a set menu that would normally cost £20 a head.
And Mosh Khan, one of the partners at Jade Pavilion, said customers could expect a quality meal on the night.
He said: "Customers will get a set menu on the night.
"This will include soup to start, a mixed platter, a main course and everything else to go with it.
"There will be a lot of choice and we always use fresh local produce.
"This special offer is really a one-off and we are hoping to attract new customers."
The restaurant is also run by two other business partners – David Xu and Mujibur Rahman.
Mr Khan has also run the Raj Pavilion in Hull for the last 17 years.
And the Raj was crowned Best Indian Restaurant of the Year in 2012.
He said: "One thing we think we know is how to do restaurants.
"We spent half-a-million pounds on renovating Jade Pavilion recently.
"I have been in restaurants all of my life.
"We head-hunted the top Chinese chefs in the UK for Jade Pavilion.
"Our restaurant is the busiest in the Scunthorpe area customer-wise. On average, a Saturday night will see bookings of between 150 and 200 people."
Restaurants across North Lincolnshire will hold events to showcase their food and service throughout the month of June.
Customers will be encouraged to text their scores on the night with the help of special cards.
And the top three scoring restaurants will be entered into the final.
They will be visited by our panel of judges, who will then decide the overall winner.
The champion will receive a full page profile, a trophy, certificate, banner and the prestige of being the Scunthorpe Telegraph's Eat Local 2013 winner.
In addition to the nights being arranged in June, there will also be a second award that will be judged by the public.
Each restaurant taking part will have a unique text number which our readers can use when voting, whenever they happen to visit.
Voting for the text competition will run until Thursday, June 27.
The overall winner will be announced within the Scunthorpe Telegraph on Thursday, July 4 alongside the judges' choice winner. Reported by This is 1 hour ago.
