Several Lancaster based businesses have been named as finalists in the new Taste Lancashire Producer Awards.
Marketing Lancashire, organisers of the only county-wide tourism and hospitality awards, has launched the awards this year in partnership with Booths.
The Taste Lancashire Producer Awards 2024 aims to honour the producers who are based in the county or who champion Lancashire, along with the produce they raise, nurture and prepare in four categories: drinks; pantry, preserved and ready to eat; bakery, pies and pastries; and fish, field and dairy.
Lone Wolf Bakery is a finalist in the Bakery, Pies and Pastries category, Atkinsons Coffee Roasters and Tea Merchants in the Drinks category, and Peppered Palette Ltd in the Pantry, Preserved and Ready to Eat category.
Vikki Harris, Marketing and Partnerships Director of Marketing Lancashire, said: “The calibre of applicants in these new awards was outstanding.
‘’Working with Booths, who bring their expertise and long-standing tradition for sourcing the finest produce from Lancashire and beyond, we have arrived at a group of exciting finalists who truly shine in their individual categories
“The finalists will now be invited to tell their personal ‘food story’ and offer tastings to a panel of judges in January.
‘’We wish them all good luck and congratulate them on reaching this final stage, in a county that boasts so many excellent and accomplished food and drink producers and innovators.”
The winners of the new Taste Lancashire Producer Awards will be announced at a joint ceremony with the Lancashire Tourism Awards, which will be held at the iconic Blackpool Tower Ballroom on Tuesday February 11, 2025.
