Our annual Oliver Awards, now in their 12th year, were held at the Centenary Pavilion at Elland Road. After a nomination period, 14 out of the 17 categories had been previously whittled down to a shortlist, with the judges coming up with the restaurant of the year and outstanding contribution winner. The food loving public of Leeds also had their say with the People's Choice Award, which returned for a second year. Enjoy these photos from the celebration.
