Best Newcomer Award 2021
2021 has seen a number of fantastic new bars and restaurants open post-pandemic in our lovely town of Buxton and – together with the help of our followers on Facebook and Instagram – Eat Drink Buxton launched a campaign to find the best newcomer of 2021 so that we could present them with a special award and feature them here on our website in honour of their recognition.
The response to our campaign was incredible…in addition to lots of comments on our Facebook page, we received many messages, emails and even phone calls with people suggesting one clear winner…Seasons Buxton.
Seasons is a wonderful and welcoming craft ale and wine bar run by Steve and Sarah which we absolutely love – and so do most of the Eat Drink Buxton community judging by the votes – 71.4% of you chose them for the award!

We are absolutely delighted to say we have just been presented with the Best Newcomer 2021 Award from @eatdrinkbuxton We are so proud of what we have achieved over the last 12 months but moreover we are nothing without our wonderful customers who we now call our friends. Thank you SO much to everyone who voted for us, it means more than you can imagine. Big, big loves always, Sarah & Steve xxx
Much like Sarah and Steve, we want to say a big thank you to everyone who took the time to vote and make a recommendation. Eat Drink Buxton is a not for profit personal blog/website; our reviews are completely independent, honest, impartial and based on our own experiences at each establishment. We do this in the hope that people who are visiting or residing in Buxton will enjoy reading our reviews and go and eat and drink at the establishments we recommend. We see this as a great way to support local businesses whilst enjoying something that we are both passionate about – food and drink!
Also recommended for the Best Newcomer Award 2021 were Khomkhai Thai Restaurant, Santiago Tapas Restaurant, Bar and Deli, Dub Kitchen and Bar and Lubens.
