And this year's winners are.......

Sussex is now seen as one of Britain’s true centres of excellence for food and drink by national food buyers.

Research shows that, despite economic downturn, demand for locally sourced food has actually accelerated during the past 12 months and more than half the country’s shoppers now say they are prepared to pay extra for local food.

The Sussex Food & Drink Awards celebrate the exceptional standards of quality and innovation that have taken the county into the top half of the UK’s Premier League for locally produced food and drink and is fully relected in our wonderful winners this year.
