Dorset Food, Drink & Farming Awards 2020

Dorset Magazine have opened their nominations for this year’s Food, Drink & Farming Awards. There are 30 days remaining to vote.
Dorset Magazine’s Editor Helen Styles said “The Dorset Food, Drink and Farming Awards will celebrate the extraordinary men and women – farmers, chefs, bakers, butchers, tea shop owners to name but a few – who work so hard to put Dorset on the culinary map. Show your support for your local food, drink and farming heroes and nominate now!”
They are calling on their readers and businesses alike to nominate in these new-look awards, with new categories highlighting the current struggles and how businesses have adapted to the changes to the industry due to Covid-19.

The categories are:

Best Independent Food & Drink Retailer
Best Farm Shop
Food Producer of the Year
Drinks Producer of the Year
Entrepreneur of the Year
Community Food/Drink Initiative Award
Business Collaboration Award
Best Local Food/Drink Delivery Experience
Best Dining Experience to go
Chef of the Year

Understandably, they have had to adapt how they champion and highlight the region’s food and drink sector but they still want to celebrate the fantastic businesses on our doorstep serving us throughout Lockdown.

However, they have had to reassess their awards evening. For 2020, instead of their ceremony in September, they will be holding a winners’ celebration when it is safe to do so, post the announcement of their 2020 winners’ in the December issue of Dorset Magazine. They hope to come back bigger and better next year! As do we all!
