In addition to curating the busy twitterstream via our event hashtag, #LFDAwards, live reporter Celia Lacy of LincUpLive captured a selection of live images at last night's awards including each course of the delicious locally-sourced dinner served at the Doubletree.

Guests were treated to a Cote Hill Blue cheese salad with poached pear, walnut and vinaigrette followed by beautifully cooked Lincoln Red Beef, roasted two ways with confit carrots, parsnip puree and fondant potato. And to finish, a delicious, sticky Chocolate tart with passionfruit textures - including a truly magnificent and flavour-packed passionfruit jelly!
