For immediate release
Midlands Best Deli or Farm Shop Winner Announced
The BBC Good Food Show Team have been scouring the Midlands in
association with BBC Good Food to award the
most outstanding shop with the title of Midlands Best Deli or Farm Shop 2015. Following an
extensive nomination and judging process the deserving winner has been
confirmed as:
Legges of Bromyard, Herefordshire
After searching through customer nominations, reviews, mystery shopping
reports and visits to the ten shortlisted delis and farm shops from across the
Midlands, The BBC Good Food Show are delighted to award Legges of Bromyard
with the coveted title of The Midlands Best Deli or Farm Shop 2015.
The judging panel scored each shop on a range
of criteria including quality and value of produce and customer service. The number of
customer nominations and reviews and mystery shopping exercises from some of
the Midlands most prolific food bloggers were also taken into account.
Legges of Bromyard impressed the judging panel with its range of
local produce, excellent customer service, atmosphere and overall shopping
experience. Legges of Bromyard
take pride in being unique - endlessly exploring the sumptuous tastes of glorious
Herefordshire. They have worked non-stop since 2000 to champion the fantastic
produce straight from the heart of the countryside. As farmers themselves, they
know everything about the products they sell, plus most of their meat comes
from within a six mile radius of the front door.
Katy Truss, Artisan food specialist for
the BBC Good Food Shows and member of the judging panel, visited Legges of
Bromyard and says: "As you walk into Legges of Bromyard you don't know
which way to turn; join the queue for one of the glistening hot sausages,
peruse the range of local craft beers and ciders or marvel at the meats on
offer in the butchery and cold meats counters. Discover new local producers
from the Midlands, along with fresh fruit, vegetables and baked goods. Its
beautiful displays, buzzing atmosphere, great range of produce and excellent
customer service made it stand out as this year's winner."
The Winner receives a free of
charge stand at the BBC Good Food Show Winter at the NEC from 26 - 29 November, promoting their
award winning Midlands business to tens of thousands of food loving
visitors.
The flagship BBC Good Food Show
