The Enterprise Minister is facing calls to spell out how this year’s Manx Menu Awards were funded, after a series of detailed questions have been tabled.
Glenfaba and Peel MHK Kate Lord-Brennan has asked the minister to disclose key information about the 2026 awards programme.
In a written question for answer on March 30, Ms Lord‑Brennan is seeking clarity on six specific areas:
- How many entrants and winners took part in the 2026 awards;
- What categories were used;
- How public voting and departmental promotion differed from earlier years;
- The total cost to the Department or Business Agency;
- How many staff were involved in delivering the awards;
- Which company provided the marketing packages awarded as prizes.
The Manx Menu Awards, run by the Department for Enterprise’s Business Agency, are designed to showcase the island’s hospitality sector.
