As a champion of local food and a highly-respected member of the farming community in her own right, Her Royal Highness’s presence will be seen as a particularly important honour by the region’s food and drink industry.

Editor Mike Lowe said, “We will be very pleased indeed to welcome Her Royal Highness to this special evening. The Princess’s attendance is a validation of the vital role local food producers and the hospitality industry have to play in the prosperity of the region.”

The awards, which recognise food and drink suppliers, producers and other related companies nominated by the magazine’s readers, are in their 11th year.
