Food Drink Devon Awards
Why enter the Awards?

Give your product, hospitality business, retail outlet or training school the opportunity to stand out in Devon’s crowded food and drink sector… with the food and drink awards which recognise and reward only Devon businesses.

On outstanding entrants we present Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum or ‘Best’ awards each year which ensure you get the recognition you deserve, based on our guiding principles of quality, sustainability and provenance, and a host of other criteria.

To ensure fairness and impartiality all products are blind-tasted and venues are ‘mystery-shopped’ by an independent and unbiased panel of judges including chefs, artisan makers, farmers, food and drink writers and influencers from the region’s food and drink sector.

Judges complete a detailed report and an independent adjudicator verifies the results and winners. All entrants benefit from valuable, objective feedback to aid research and development.

Previous winners have enjoyed press and media coverage, increased sales revenue and brand awareness… and, of course, the well-known and respected green heart trophy and window sticker to alert customers to your win.

"We’re thrilled to have won the New Food Product of the Year Award 2025 for our Butter Chicken Curry Pasty.   The food scene is flourishing in Devon and it’s brilliant to be in the thick of it at the sensational Awards Evening, what a turn out, fun with great company.  Thank you and well done to the Food Drink Devon Team"

"The Food Drink Devon Awards are without doubt the most prestigious set of awards in the county and represent the best of everything Devon has to offer in our industry.  To win the Best Restaurant award for the 2nd year running is unique, quite extraordinary and an amazing tribute to the success of our restaurant.  This success is testament to a fantastic team effort, crystalized through professionalism, desire, passion and pride and a determination of every member of staff to perform to the best of their abilities at all times.

We encourage everyone to enter and be involved in these Awards”
