There is no greater plaudit than genuine third party endorsement for any food and drink product to build reputation, support pricing and drive sales. Celebrating quality is crucial to the UK food and drink sector and relies on the willingness for producers to offer up their products for judging. As a judge, is nothing better than to experience and celebrate exceptional home-grown taste and flavours that immediately tantalise the palate and announce they are primary examples of their craft.
