Great Taste Awards 2025

 

This year’s results are in and the Guild of Fine Food has announced the winners of the 2025 Great Taste Awards. Every year, a group of restauranteurs, chefs, food writers and critics try the best of British food and judge it on one criteria only: taste.

We’re cock-a-hoop to share that our meals and puddings won 19 awards, taking our total over the last three years to 70. All the honour is due to the amazing teams in out four kitchens. These awards belong to them.

 

All Award Winners

 

Coq Au Vin

"This product has a really impressive appearance, with obvious inclusion of everything we would expect from a homemade coq au vin from baby onions to bacon and bay leaves, along with the chicken itself."

Beef Bourguignon
