Archant Suffolk | Food and Drink Awards

Welcome to the 2011 Suffolk Food & Drink awards. Once again, we’ll be celebrating many of the great things about the producers, retailers and restaurateurs in our county.

As we’ve seen from the last few years, Suffolk businesses involved in food and drink gain considerable attention on the national stage and it’s not just the larger companies like Adnams or Greene King – there are a multitude of smaller producers and retailers for whom quality, value and localism are at the core of all that they achieve. Then there are the county’s pubs, restaurants and hotels from fine dining at Le Talbooth and our winner of the restaurant category last year, the Bildeston Crown to the more informal pleasures of a pint of local beer with a home cooked meal in places like our pub winner, The White Horse at Whepstead.

Once again we are delighted that Adnams are partnering us in the awards as the main sponsor and that The West Wing at Ickworth have agreed to host the entertaining awards lunch.

This year we would like you, our readers to help us locate the businesses that champion local food, that offer quality and variety and bundle it all with great service.

Click on our nominations page and let us have the details of your favourite places to eat and shop. We’ll do the rest along with our sponsors and expert judges and on 5^th October we’ll reveal the 2011 winners of the Suffolk Food & Drink awards.
