BEING the cream of the crop is meat and drink to the best of the best in Buckinghamshire’s food and drink sector.
The county’s pubs, restaurants, retailers, brewers, suppliers and distillers were at Milton Keynes Theatre to raise a glass of prosecco, enjoy a bite of pizza and celebrate the winners in the 2024 Buckinghamshire Food & Drink Awards.
The accolade is made more important by the winners being decided by public vote.
Businesses felt seen by their community and excited at the opportunity to shout about all that comes with running and working within the hospitality sector, said Kathryn Shipton, events manager at awards organiser Events & PR, based near Towcester.
“To be seen in your industry is everything and having been witness to the support and unity of all the finalists and winners involved in these awards proves how imperative independent businesses are to the community.”
