“I would encourage all foodie businesses out there to submit an entry and get involved to help increase visibility and promote their business. Good Luck everyone!”
There are only a few days remaining to enter the inaugural awards, which closes on December 31st. This will be followed by a finalists’ night on at Coventry’s new Telegraph Hotel and then a grand ceremony in the spring.
Categories for the awards include best artisan food and drink producers, best farm shop, best independent food and drink retailer, best newcomer, best street food trader and best chef or cook of the year, as well as best food/drink experience.
Three special awards will also recognise businesses and individuals who went above and beyond during the coronavirus pandemic – including a COVID-19 Resilience Award backed by Visit Coventry and The Godiva Award, sponsored by Coventry BID.
The Foodie Awards will be raising money for The Trussell Trust network of eight food banks in Coventry and Warwickshire.
