- A fine food store situated in Hawkshead has been named as a finalist in the coveted BBC national Food & Farming awards
The Hawkshead Relish shop situated in the centre of Hawkshead Village is one of three finalists in the `Best Local Retailer’ category following nominations from BBC audiences and a rigorous judging process of more than 700 entrants.
The picturesque shop offers the full Hawkshead Relish range which features everything from traditional recipes to innovative culinary creations and has become a destination for visitors to the Lake District.
Judges were impressed by the emphasis on regional cuisine in the extensive Hawkshead Relish range incorporating jams, sauces and chutneys and everything in-between as well as the host of other Cumbrian producers represented on the laden shelves. The warm atmosphere and friendly welcome emphasises a truly regional feel, where all the preserves can be tasted and savoured.
The overall winner will be announced at the BBC Good Food Show in November at Birmingham’s NEC. Mark Whitehead, managing director of Hawkshead Relish comments “This nomination received from the public is testament to the Hawkshead Relish team, their dedication to the company and their enthusiasm in bringing about a memorable retail experience.”
