We’ve been shortlisted in Great British Food Awards – but we need your help to win it!

Anyone who knows us well will know we’re actually quite a modest bunch here at Hunters – so we don’t like to be seen to be blowing our own trumpet too much!

That said…sometimes you have to blow your trumpet because you have some fantastic news which needs sharing! And now is one of those times! As not only do we have great news, we also need to ask a teeny tiny favour.

We’re delighted to announce that we have been shortlisted in the prestigious Great British Food Awards 2019! Yay us! We’re one of six finalists in the Best Independent Retailer category for the North of England – against some very stiff competition.

These are the sixth annual Great British Food Awards and this is the fourth time we’ve been lucky enough to make the final. So, the judges have deemed us worthy of a shortlist nomination – and now we need your help because it’s all down to a public vote! If you’ve ever enjoyed shopping with us, we’d be eternally grateful if you could spare five minutes to pop to the website and give us a vote. There’s even a little incentive….prizes to be won!

Votes for the awards can be cast at www.greatbritishfoodmagazine.com/awards until 15th August 2019. Anyone voting is automatically entered into a prize draw to win one of over 30 fantastic foodie prizes, worth more than £7,000. There’s sparkling new pans, a River Cottage break for two, cookbooks, hampers, gadgets to help take your cooking to the next level – even the chance to win a greenhouse! There’s 19 categories in total to vote for (although you don’t have to do them all), including restaurants, food writers, cookbooks and TV personalities.

We are genuinely delighted to have been shortlisted in these fantastic awards again, which look to celebrate everything that is great about British food and drink. We never take for granted what we do, and we’re so grateful to our amazing team, our wonderful local suppliers and producers and of course all our lovely customers. Thank you all!

We’d love to bring the award home to Helmsley – maybe this is our year…
