BGFA 2018 - Meet The 'Best British' Category Shortlist

It's that time of year again, time to find Bristol's very best foodie spots! The 2018 Bristol Good Food Awards shortlist has been announced, you can check them out here.

The public have voted for their favourite places in over 30 categories, the judges are visiting the shortlist as I write this post, the winners will be announced on 25th February at Ashton Gate Stadium and we cant wait!

The Bristol Shop Sponsors 'Best British' Category 2018

We're thrilled to be a category sponsor for the 4th consecutive year, the vast majority of winners are independent businesses, based in Bristol (of course) and being an independent business ourselves (and massive foodies!) we find it a natural fit, supporting Bristol's independents.

Congratulations and good luck to all shortlisted restaurants, we look forward to seeing you at the awards ceremony!

Here's The 2018 Shortlist for Bristol's 'Best British'

Show some love and give them follow, better yet follow the website links and make a booking, you deserve it!
