The latest winners of the Good Food Awards have been announced, including a number of brilliant restaurants and cafes in and around Birmingham.
Established in 2002, the annual awards celebrate culinary excellence across the United Kingdom and are highly respected in the food industry.
Split into categories such as Fish and Chips, Cafes and fine dining, the Good Food Awards are entirely based on merit, and free to enter, with the public casting votes for their favourites.
Also known as The Blue Ribbon for Delicious Dishes, the Good Food Awards are decided based on food quality, service and value.
The highest accolade, The Gold Seal, is given to Good Food Award holders who have attained award status for three consecutive years or more.
Birmingham is home to one gold seal winner in the fine dining category. It was one of four winners in that section. We had cafe winner, four fish and chip shop winners and one takeaway.
