They will be joined by a star-studded line-up of food and farming celebrities
including Raymond Blanc, Mark Hix, Alex James and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall.
The BBC Radio Food & Farming Awards, presented by Sheila Dillon of Radio 4's
The Food Programme, celebrate the people and organisations behind the best of
British food.
This year's event will be hosted by BBC Director-General Mark Thompson and will
take place at the Radio Theatre, BBC Broadcasting House in London later this
month.
After sifting through thousands of nominations, the team of judges – chaired
by chef and restaurateur Raymond Blanc and including cheese-maker and Blur
bassist Alex James and school dinners champion Jeanette Orrey, among others –
have spent the last few weeks travelling around the UK visiting this year's
finalists, watching them at work and tasting their food.
A special programme of the awards will be broadcast on Friday 27 November, at
9.00am on Radio 4, revealing the winners in the nine different categories.
Find out who is producing the nation's best takeaway, which pupils are being
served the best school meals and who has won the much coveted title of BBC Food
Personality Of The Year.
This year also marks the 30th anniversary of Radio 4's The Food Programme,
which will profile some of this year's winners in an edition to be broadcast on
Sunday 29 and Monday 30 November.
