With such an array of food and drink outlets across the district, it is no surprise that nominations are flying in for this category of our Retailer of the Year competition.

This award night for the competition, which is now in its sixth year, will take place at the Alban Arena on June 24.

Last year A&C Meats’ four year reign was broken when Buongiorno Italia was named the winner of the Food and Drink category, which is sponsored by the Federation of Small Businesses.

Will they be able to make it two years running or do you think there is a more worthy winner out there?

You can nominate retailers in one of six categories - fashion and accessories; specialist shops; markets trader; restaurants and cafes, food and drink and hair and beauty.

Our team of mystery shoppers will hit the streets, putting each and every retailer to the test.

All nominated retailers will also be sent a window poster so they can blow their own trumpets.

The competition is a joint initiative between the Review, St Albans District Council, St Albans Civic Society and St Albans District Chamber of Commerce.

To nominate a retailer text the name of the trader you want to nominate by texting the word ‘retailer’ followed by the name and address of the business to 80360. Texts cost 50p.

You can also nominate by filling out the form in this week’s Review or by emailing your entry to revieweditor@london.newsquest.co.uk

All nominations should be received by midnight on May 10.
