Food NI companies listed in Great British Food
Food NI members have been successful in being shortlisted for around 15 products in the annual Great British Food and Drink Awards 2024.
The shortlisted businesses, all artisans or smaller companies, cover virtually every sector of food and drink production here.
The Great British Food Awards were launched in 2014 to celebrate the country’s finest artisanal produce, as well as the hard-working people behind the scenes. This year, the awards are bigger and better than ever, with lots of new categories and amazing celebrity judges.
From dairy to cheese, artisan drinks to savoury preserves, The Great British Food Awards has a category for everyone.
Every year, fresh new faces are added to the judging panel, each wielding a hefty influence in the realm of British food and drink. Imagine being able to say the likes of Raymond Blanc, Michel Roux Jr or Shaun Rankin chose your product as the best cheese, gin or pie in all of Britain?
The Great British Food Awards provide companies with the opportunity to have your food and drink tasted by some of the UK’s most acclaimed chefs, critics and influencers.
The shortlisted products in each category will be sent to a panel of judges for them to pick their Gold, Silver and Bronze winners. They will pick up to three Golds and the rest will be given the Silver or Bronze accolade. Judges are located around the UK. The winning product in each category will then need to be sent to our final expert judge, for them to pick our overall winner – the Grand Champion.
The winners of each category will then be announced and will be featured in a special issue of Great British Food magazine at the end of October.
