Following a vote from the public, Borge restaurant sees off competition from The Masham, The George Pub & Grill, The Crown and Divine Greek to win the competition.
After a round of public nominations and a final public run off between 5 restaurants in Stockton Borough, Borge has been crowned the area’s favourite.
Residents of Stockton Borough were first asked to nominate any restaurant in the area for the award. The top 5 nominated restaurants were entered into a final public vote in which hundreds of people from across the borough decided the winner.
Matt presented Borge staff and owner Fash with the award alongside a bottle of House of Commons champagne signed by the Prime Minister.
Matt said:
“A huge congratulations goes to Borge restaurant for seeing off some stiff competition from across the area and proving that their parmo remains the borough’s favourite!
“I am delighted by the response to the competition and hope that it has encouraged local parmo lovers to try the excellent takes on Teesside’s famous dish from across the area and support the local hospitality industry which has suffered over the last few years.”
In response, the owner of Borge restaurant, Fash, said:
“We’re delighted to have again won a parmo competition for the 5th time and retained our crown, a big thank you to all of our customers and those who voted for us and to Matt for organising the competition”
