The 2011 EDP Norfolk Food and Drink Awards have celebrated the cream of our country's food and drink suppliers and service people.
All the finalists in the nine award categories were chosen from the dozens of nominees put forward by EDP and EDP Norfolk Magazine readers. team of judges then set about choosing the best chefs, bakers, farm shops and pubs across the county from that long list to become the 27 finalists.
Norfolk has so much to be proud of in terms of its food and drink industry and, since 2001, our prestigious annual awards have highlighted those people doing so much to uphold and develop that long tradition of first class food production.
