The Guild of Fine Food has released the results for the Great Taste 2024 with many Oxfordshire retailers winning an award.

The esteemed awards are dubbed the ‘Oscars of the food and drink world’, with nearly 3,500 companies entering Great Taste this year.

Between them they offered 13,672 products for review.

Each entry was blind-tasted by the Guild’s expert judging panel of more than 500 food critics, chefs, recipe creators, buyers, retailers, and other specialists in the field of food and drink.

Entries were analysed across 92 judging days, each receiving detailed feedback, whether or not they obtained an award.
