Carlsberg UK Northamptonshire Food & Drink Awards
Here in Northamptonshire we make lots of great tasting food and drink. In fact, it’s a sector that’s worth a delicious £1.5bn and packed full of more than 46,000 local food heroes. And seeing as they put so much effort into creating food and drink of outstanding quality, it’s only fair to give them a very public pat on the back for a job well done. So each year we get together to celebrate the very best the sector has to offer. No matter what they make. Set up in 2008, we call it the Carlsberg UK Northamptonshire Food & Drink Awards. We’re mighty proud of it. And our winners

Made in Northamptonshire We’re extremely proud of what we make in our county. But one of the biggest challenges has always been spreading the word. So guess what we did? We launched Made in Northamptonshire – a local networking group for everyone who makes the food and drink industry their business. Perfect for people thirsting for new contacts and hungry for advice on buying local. It’s a refreshingly simple idea but one that’s already proved to be hugely satisfying.
