We are justly proud of our prestigious awards programme which has now become the largest regional awards scheme in the UK. The aim is simple: to find and reward the best products and establishments in the South West. The Taste of the West Product Awards programme comprises 25 food and drink categories. Over 1,000 products were entered this year and panels of experts evaluated each product individually, assessing its appearance, aroma, texture, packaging, and more importantly its taste. The results revealed 304 Gold, 220 Silver and 170 Highly Commended awards to 325 producers throughout the South West. All the judges were very impressed with the quality and above all the consistency at such a high level of production within the industry. The Taste of the West Hospitality and Retail Awards scheme comprises 12 categories. This year entries were received from 330 establishments across the South West. We sent our team of experienced, professional judges out to each and every one to eat and shop their way around them all, and the results concluded in a staggering 195 Gold awards. We are constantly impressed by how much the quality within the hospitality and retail industry has risen and continues to do so year after year.
