Winning this Award would help build them as a destination, putting them on the map both regionally and nationally and in turn, bringing interest to East Hertfordshire.
Nigel Barden, chair of judges and BBC Radio 2 Gastronome commented “There are some very focused, driven and talented food retailers in Britain, who deserve to be nourished and encouraged. It’s marvellous that these awards can bring them to a much wider attention. The 2015 Awards revealed some truly brilliant winners, many of whom source produce locally and it’s marvellous to see that there’s a good spread of outstanding retailers in both urban and rural settings. The British food and drink offer has never been better, as richly illustrated by the Farm Shop & Deli Awards. ”
