Food lovers are gearing up for festival season and delicious. is revving the engine, ready to hit the road with Fisher & Paykel, our partner in the UK-wide delicious. Produce Awards, now in their third year. We couldn’t be more excited, as there’s a nation’s worth of great produce out there to be discovered.

At each stop on the way, our expert regional judges have the enviable task of deciding which of the lovingly made food and drink products from their area are best, as they perform the judging for the delicious. Produce Awards. There’ll be lots of fun and a chance to sample some scrumptious local fare.

The 2018 regional judging is being overseen by Valentina Harris: chef, broadcaster, cookery teacher and all- round dynamo. A champion of the UK’s brilliant small producers she’ll be at every show, running the judging and ensuring all those wonderful products get their due.

Come and support us at your local show. Get the dates in your diary and, when you visit, be sure to say hello to Valentina, the delicious. judges and our friends in Fisher & Paykel’s Social Kitchen. There’s a long, fun summer of great food and drink ahead.
