A taste of Bristol’s best producers

By Bristol24/7  Monday Oct 31, 2016

The votes are in and the shortlist has been drawn up for the best producers at the 2016 Bristol Good Food Awards.

From pickles to ciders, the entrants have now been whittled down to the best three in each of the 18 delicious categories – ready for the awards evening later this month.

A panel of expert judges and food connoisseurs will have the final say on Bristol’s best local producers after a special blind tasting.
