Sussex
Food & Drink
Awards
Grand finalists announced
Judges have now announced who will
be Grand Finalists in the Sussex Food
& Drink Awards 2013/14. These Grand
Finalists represent some of the very
best that Sussex has to offer and they
have also been invited to the spectacular
awards banquet hosted by Sally Gunnell
OBE at the Amex Stadium on January
30 to find out who wins.
Over a working lunch hosted by Harveys
in Lewes, judges deliberated and verified
the thousands of public votes received
for the county’s food and drink heroes,
before reaching their verdict.
Said Paula Seager, co-director of
Natural Partnerships CIC, which runs the
awards, “Sussex has really managed to
place itself firmly on the food and drink
map in the UK over the last decade
and we are extremely excited about
our Grand Finalist line up, which offers
a superb range of first class, diverse
businesses from across the county.
“The competition was extremely tough
in this eighth year of the awards and
everyone should feel incredibly proud at
making it through to this final stage in
the competition.”
The three grand finalists in each of
the eight awards categories, strictly in
alphabetical order, are:
