NB – The full list of winners is now available, and can be seen at www.breaksandbites.co.uk/2015/06/22/2015-bristol-good-food-awards-winners-announced.
The finalists for the 2015 Bristol Good Food Awards have now been announced – and with both new categories and a wealth of new nominees, this year’s awards shortlist is a result of over 30,000 public votes.
The Bristol Good Food Awards are now in their fourth year, and are this year sponsored by foodservice company A David & Co, with the Local Producers’ Awards sponsored by Almondsbury Garden Centre.
Following the revealing of this year’s shortlist, each and every one of the nominated businesses will be visited by the awards’ panel of expert judges, who will act as mystery diners to judge food and service on a range of different criteria. The winners of the Local Producers’ Awards will be decided at a special judging day at the Bristol Royal Marriott Hotel, with every entry tasted blind.
The results of each and every award will be announced at a Gala Awards Evening on June 21st, this year taking place in The Great Hall at Bristol Grammar School.
