Judging

All businesses will be mystery shopped and you won’t know who the judge is until the end of the visit. All judges will have the same detailed report to complete with an independent adjudicator verifying the results and winners. Our judges are looking for establishments that provide a truly excellent standard and champion Devon produce as well as demonstrating innovation, ambience and customer service at a high level, to create a top-quality food and drink experience.

All entrants will be visited by independent and unbiased expert judges between mid-April to mid-July 2026. Outstanding entrants will be awarded Bronze, Silver or Gold Awards, plus Awards will be given to the Best Overall Business in each category.
