The region’s finest food and drink was celebrated last night at the annual Taste of the West Awards.
Around 500 people from the industry gathered in Exeter for the ceremony, with BBC TV presenter Victoria Graham handing out 43 awards to businesses from across Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Dorset, Wiltshire and Gloucestershire.
Among the winners from the Duchy, Boscastle Farm Shop was named Best South West Café/Tearoom, while product awards went to Moosh Mallows (Champion Confectionary), Larkhill (Champion Egg) and Keltek Brewery (Champion Beer).
John Sheaves, chief executive of Taste of the West, said: “To see so many businesses represented in one room from our sector makes me feel incredibly proud of what this industry has achieved in recent years.
This was the largest gathering of the South West regional food and drink awards to date in the history of the programme and our sincere congratulations go to all the finalists and overall champion winners.”
