From secluded farm shops and seaside cafes to bustling street food stalls and fine dining restaurants, our region is renowned for offering some truly unforgettable food and drink.

For the first time, the Food and Drink Awards are bringing the two counties together and welcoming entries and nominations from people and businesses across Norfolk and Suffolk that work to create outstanding dishes, champion local produce and provide first-class experiences.

This year, we are working with Bread Hospitality, which is a great supporter of the awards and of Norfolk and Suffolk food and drink.

We have 11 categories, 10 of which are open for entries and nominations, and we want to hear from you – do you have a favourite restaurant or café? Or perhaps a local food or drink product, street food item or specialist food producer that you want more people to know about? Now is your chance to let us know!

Thank you to our headline sponsor Alliance East Anglia, as well as all our category sponsors – Small Beer Wholesale, Castlemeadow Care, Hotel School at City College Norwich, Flour & Bean and Sizewell C. Support from these sponsors helps us make these awards the best they can be.
