Simply Ice Cream based in Bonnington, near Ashford has been shortlisted for the finals of the Quality Food and Drink Awards.
Following a huge wave of entries and with almost three weeks of rigorous judging, the Quality Food and Drink Awards is pleased to announce its greatly awaited shortlist for 2014 which includes Simply Ice Cream’s Salted Caramel Ice Cream!
A total of almost 350 shortlisted food and drink products, in 80 categories, are now in with a chance to win one of the food industries’ most prestigious accolades. Now in its 35th year, the Quality Food and Drink Awards ceremony will be held on 13th November at the Grosvenor House Hotel, Park Lane, London.
Sally Newall, the founder and director of Simply Ice Cream says they are delighted with the news: ”It is a huge achievement to be shortlisted for such a prestigious award, and we are thrilled to be in the finals alongside such huge names. It has been an incredibly busy and exciting year for us, and this has been a fantastic piece of news to receive to finish the year. We are a small company who pride ourselves on the luxurious quality of our handmade ice cream, and despite the company meeting a greater demand at the moment, this is proof that the quality has not been compromised”
“Our judging panel is a vital component in reaffirming the validity and robustness of our results,” comments Helen Lyons, Organiser and Publisher of Metropolis Business Media. “The quality of the food and drink entries this year has been particularly impressive and I know after a fantastic two and a half weeks of judging, with our uniquely prestigious team of 123 food and drink experts, we are all extremely pleased with the final shortlist.”
“The awards night promises to bring the best of the UK’s food and drink produce and key industry influencers together in the spectacular setting of the Great Room at the renowned Grosvenor House Hotel on Park Lane. We would like to say congratulations to all of the shortlisted entries and best of luck for the ceremony in November.”
