A celebration of Yorkshire’s
The annual Deliciouslyorkshire Taste Awards took place this week and as ever it was Yorkshire’s most delicious event!
around a delicious and locally sourced three course meal which included many of this year’s shortlisted and winning products.
Now in their 16th year, the awards have grown to become the biggest food and drink
accolades in the
North of England and are held in high regard throughout the county and beyond.
With a record number of entries, competition as ever was fierce and this year’s panel
of judges which
included a host of chefs, food writers, critics and buyers had the enviable task of whittling the entries down into the 2019 shortlist across 3 full days of judging in September.
Deliciouslyorkshire Chairman Judy Bell described
the evening as a triumph and a real celebration of the county’s thriving industry: “It’s a real pleasure to see the Taste Awards grow and flourish. Each year the number of entries increases and we always
find something
new, exciting and innovative. These awards are a great reflection of Yorkshire’s diverse food and drink scene and really are the ones to win!”
“With so many entries and such a high standard yet again, our judging panel had their work cut out.
We’d like to say a huge thank you
all our judges and indeed all our entrants for taking the time to get involved.
“To win one of our coveted awards is a huge achievement, but to be on the shortlist itself amongst so much tough competition is also fantastic, so a huge congratulations to everyone who made it onto this year’s shortlist.”
Some 400 of the county’s finest food and
drink producers and businesses attended the sparkling black-tie event which was held on Wednesday evening at the Pavilions of Harrogate.
Hosted by Yorkshire favourites chef Steph Moon and broadcaster Nigel Barden, the 24 awards including those for Best New Business, Best Yorkshire Breakfast and Best Pork Pie were presented
