New for 2026

Wholesaler / Distributor Awards

Entries close Monday 30 March 2026.

The Wholesaler / Distributor Awards are open to all food and drink establishments based in Devon. We are so excited to be introducing this brand-new award for 2026. For years we have been celebrating the delicious food and drink from across our county but realise this would often not be possible without you, our brilliant suppliers and distributors. With this award, we want to recognise and champion all the fantastic work you do to supply and support our local restaurants, pubs, bars and cafes.

All entries will be confirmed by email and an invoice issued.

  • Non-Members – Entry is £200+VAT (if you sign up for Food Drink Devon membership before 30 March 2026, any awards entry fees will be deducted from your first year’s membership costs).

Judging

All entrants will be judged by 3 of your existing customers. All judges will have the same detailed report to complete with a totally independent adjudicator verifying the results and winners. Our judges are looking for a wholesaler / distributor who provides a truly excellent standard and champions Devon produce as well as demonstrating customer service at a high level, to create a top quality and reliable experience.

All entrants will be judged 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.
