AWARDS 2018

This is your definitive guide to the South West’s best food and drink in this year’s Taste of the West Awards – what to eat, where to eat it and where to buy it.

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.

The Awards are open to the whole industry in the South West, and as such we now hold valuable information on these products and establishments. If you are interested in stocking a range of top quality award winning products, Taste of the West can now supply these products using a consolidated delivery service. Contact us on 01404 822012 to find out more.

Many congratulations to all our award winners – each and every one of you - and thank you to all our sponsors and partners for your continued support. PROUD TO DESIGN AND PRINT THIS BROCHURE 01392 202320 [email protected] www.ashleyhouse.co.uk
