Great Taste Shop of the Year - The Gog

Описание: The Gog’s “rustic and earthy charm”, “faultless” customer service and fantastic butchery skills, which they even teach, also received high praise from the panel, who admired the wide space with separate buildings for the butchery, deli and café.

Celebrating the very best in food and drink, Great Taste, the world’s most coveted food awards, has reached its grand finale for 2017. The Great Taste Shop of the Year, which now consists of two prizes, one for farm shops and one for delis, was presented to Delilah Fine Foods, a deli in Leicester, which opened in June 2016 in a former banking hall, and Cambridge-based The Gog, an “honest, fun and inviting” farm shop housed in barns. These awards, which recognise excellence in food retailing, were voted for by the readers of delicious. magazine, who nominated their favourite independent farm shops and delis across the UK. From the nationwide nominations, a short list of 10 shops was then selected, to be visited by the Guild of Fine Food’s panel of retail experts.

These awards were presented by Paul Spencer of Hotel Indigo at the Great Taste Golden Fork Award Dinner held on Monday 4 September at the InterContinental London Park Lane Hotel, where over 350 guests from the world of fine food gathered to hear the results of many months of rigorous judging.
