Uber Eats Restaurant of the Year Awards: Three Yorkshire spots nominated for top prize
Three Yorkshire restaurants have been named as finalists in the latest edition of the Uber Eats Restaurant of the Year Awards.
Restaurants from Leeds, Wetherby and Bradford have all been nominated with a chance to win a £100,000 grand prize as Restaurant of the Year.
This year’s shortlist shows the diversity of Yorkshire’s food scene, with Greek street food, authentic Pakistani cuisine and traditional fish and chips representing the region.
The nominees for Yorkshire include:
The awards recognise small and independent restaurants across the UK, with the winner receiving £100,000 to invest in their business.
To celebrate its tenth anniversary since launching in the UK, Uber Eats has also extended the cash prizes for second and third place to £25,000 and £10,000 respectively for the first time.
Comedian and food podcaster Ed Gamble will be heading the judging panel and will be joined by last year’s Restaurant of the Year winner, Chris Riley, founder of Silver’s Deli in Bramley.
Acclaimed sandwich shop Silver’s Deli gained national recognition after being crowned Restaurant of the Year 2025 and even received a visit from renowned chef Marco Pierre White.
“Winning Restaurant of the Year was life-changing,” said Chris.
“We’ve been able to host a grand re-opening of our restaurant and we’ve grown faster than we ever imagined.
“We’re super proud to be part of this delivery community and to be returning as a judge to help more independent businesses show up and celebrate on the national stage.”
Other judges include; Seema Pankhania, chef, cookbook author and leading food creator; Lorraine Copes, founder of Be Inclusive Hospitality; Merve Basci, General Manager of Uber Eats UK; and Eating with Todd, a food content creator.
Ed Gamble added: “I’ve dedicated most of my adult life to thinking about, talking about, and tasting new food, so being named Head Judge is hugely exciting for me.
“The UK high street is absolutely bursting with culinary genius right now. I can’t wait to dive into the shortlist and help crown the next big thing.”
In total, 45 nominees across the UK will be competing in this year’s awards. Voting is open until July 30 for the public to have their say and choose their favourite restaurant.
