The very best of Devon food and drink
The annual Food Drink Devon awards celebrate the very best the county has to offer by recognising the our most respected, influential and passionate artisan food and drink producers and establishments. This year's awards will take place on Monday 5th October 2026 at Sandy Park, Exeter.
The 2026 Food Drink Devon Awards are now open for entries
Give your product, hospitality business, retail outlet or training school the opportunity to stand out in Devon’s food and drink sector… with the food and drink awards which recognise and reward only Devon businesses.
We present Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum or ‘Best’ awards each year across hospitality, food and drink products, sustainability, retail and wholesale. These ensure you get the recognition you deserve, based on our guiding principles of quality, sustainability and provenance, and a host of other criteria.
To ensure fairness and impartiality all products are blind-tasted and venues are ‘mystery-shopped’ by an independent and unbiased panel of judges including chefs, artisan makers, farmers, food and drink writers and influencers from the region’s food and drink sector.
All eighteen award categories are open to members and non-members. The closing date for entries is Monday 30th March 2026. Judging will take place during May, June and July. The winners will be revealed at the awards’ ceremony and dinner on Monday 5th October at Sandy Park, Exeter.
NEW for 2026 the 'Wholesaler / Distributor Award'.
