The Great Taste Awards have been a benchmark for quality food and drink produced and sold in the UK and this year a host of producers have been awarded, gaining them Guild of Fine Food accreditation. The judging pool is made up of over 400 industry experts with the results revealed over August and September and the final Best Regional Specialities and Supreme Champion being crowned at the end of September.
