- The Northamptonshire Food and Drink Awards have been launched to find the best shops, producers and restaurants in the county
The awards will have 12 categories this year, with the introduction of a royal-themed category in commemoration of the Queen’s Jubilee and an award for the best locally-made artisan product.
Other categories for chefs, new products, restaurants and pubs will also be voted for by the public. Last year’s awards received hundreds of nominations and over 10,000 votes.
Rachel Mallows, an organiser of the awards, said, “The success of the awards is borne out through the support by sponsors and the number of people interested in participating.
“People of the county are particularly discerning and have really started to get interested in food and shout about the fact they are interested in it. Buying local is of interest for whatever reason, whether that is because of the air miles that food travels or because they want to support their local economy,” she added.
The awards ceremony will take place on 14th November. For more information on how to enter, visit www.letyourselfgrow.com/foodanddrinkawards.
