Eat Sheffield Awards Winners 2012
A huge thank you to all of you who voted in the Awards; Our final winners were announced on Monday evening (29th October) here at the Sheffield Hallam University at the annual Awards Ceremony. The Awards themselves continue to evolve as does the Eat Sheffield project, however our main aim remains the same: to celebrate, champion and support our local, independent food businesses. We have grown to include retailers and producers as well as our much loved restaurants, cafes and bars and will continue to adapt the Awards to reflect the ever growing reputation of South Yorkshire as a thriving and exciting culinary destination.
Congratulations to all of our nominees and finalists as well as to the winners.
