Here is a link to find out who the winners and runners up are in all categories of these prestigious awards.

Not mentioned, but Andrew Whitley picked up a Special Award for his work through Real Bread Campaign.

The food business I co-ran bought cheese from Loch Arthur Creamery back in the late 1980s, so it's really good to see them pick up one of the big prizes.

A brewer picking up the top drinks prize for a second year tends to suggest the continued vibrancy in our small Brewers.

Hugh Fearnley-Whitingstall scarcely needs my plug for all his great work this year.   However, probably of greater interest west of the Pond is that his work was featured by Mark Bittman of the New York Times in a guest slot on the Food Programme.   You can catch the podcast here:

Happy reading and listening!
