Judges were looking for someone who has made a lasting contribution to Yorkshire’s food and drink community.
On Monday 21 September, over 150 highly esteemed guests, finalists and sponsors joined Yorkshire Life to celebrate the 22nd Yorkshire Life Food & Drink Awards at Rudding Park, Harrogate. Hosted by Claire Montgomery, the awards reward excellence within Yorkshire’s food & drink industry.
Undoubtedly one of the biggest events in the regions calendar, the Yorkshire Life Food & Drink Awards are designed to champion, highlight and offer a showcase to the good and the great from the region’s food and drink industry – including local producers and suppliers, chefs, restaurants, pubs and hoteliers, and people who care about the countryside and the future of our local environment.
In association with Alevere
Winner: David Lishman from Lishman’s of Ilkley
Judge’s comments: Expert, unassuming leader in his profession as a butcher and champion of all things Yorkshire - more than deserving of this accolade
