Probably the best culinary competition in the world!
The Carlsberg UK Northamptonshire Food and Drink Awards celebrate all that is great about the county’s food and drink, recognise excellence within the county’s dining venues and give a public pat on the back to all those who strive to offer exceptional food and drink experiences, whilst maintaining strong connections with the community.
At a packed Awards dinner in Holdenby House, Michelin-starred Jason Atherton presented the prizes to the delighted restaurateurs, publicans and food and drink producers.
