ABOUT THE BRISTOL GOOD FOOD AWARDS
The Bristol Good Food Awards exist to recognise the best in food and drink in and around Bristol. The awards recognise the best restaurants, cafes and delicatessens in more than forty categories including Best
Chef, Best Restaurant, Best Wine List, Best Front of House and Best Sunday Lunch, to name but a few.We also recognise the public’s favourite local
producers who sell their produce in Bristol with awards in categories that include Best Local Charcuterie, Best Local Beer, Best Local Confectionary, Best Local Cheese and Best Local Preserve.
Nominations
Every nominee has made the shortlist in their own category by receiving votes from the people of Bristol. In 2012, our inaugural year, we received more than 12,000 nominations, and more than double that in 2013 and 2014. It was really exciting to see the level of support that Bristol foodie businesses received, and the restaurants, cafes, delis and producers with the most votes then went through to the judging stage of the awards.
Judging
Led by head judge Angela Mount, our panel of judges included Xanthe Clay (food and wine columnist, The Telegraph), Martin Blunos (international chef and broadcaster), Richard Bertinet (BBC Food Champion, food writer and broadcaster) and Susy Atkins (wine writer and broadcaster).
They took part in a blind judging of the wares of local producers as well as visiting each shortlisted restaurant as mystery diners with the winners announced at a Gala Awards evenings held at Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in 2012, the Marriott City Centre Hotel in 2013 and Eat Drink Bristol Fashion in 2014.
