Taste of the West Gold Award 2011
In recognition of all the hard work that we put in to sourcing the best quality local meat and produce we have been awarded the Gold award by the Taste of the West! This is a very prestigous award handed out to only the finest establishments and we are incredibly proud to be on that list. The awards highlight successful and high quality businesses across food and drink production, hospitality and food retail and are judged by industry experts including chefs, food technologists, food and food preparation trainers/teachers, trade buyers, food writers, home economists and more.

Here are just a few of the comments made by the Taste of the West Judge about our shop.
"A lovely little shop with a clear commitment to local sourcing"
