The Great British Food Awards 2026 have announced their winners across a number of categories - with several Derbyshire businesses taking home top prizes.
Head of awards, Jenny O’Neill, said: “We had more entries than ever in 2026, and each year the quality keeps soaring, meaning our judges always have a hard task on their hands.
“There were many superb products from Derbyshire, and each and every winner should feel incredibly proud to have made it to the finals, as judging criteria is very strict. Well done to all of them.
“I’d encourage everyone to go out and support these delicious businesses, run by people who clearly care about what they do – it shows in the eating and drinking.”
The winners go through several rounds of judging, which assess all entries thoroughly for quality and taste. Expert panellists compile the initial shortlists, before the very best are sampled by both category and celebrity judges.
