Pembrokeshire food businesses have won almost 20 prizes as part of the Great Taste Awards 2023.

The awards were announced on Monday (July 31) after more than 500 judges took part in blind taste tests to rate the quality of food producers across the country.

More than 14,000 food and drink products from 109 countries were assessed over the course of 89 judging days in London and Dorset, and only 1.8% of them were awarded three stars.

The awards organised by the Guild of Fine Food will judge products made anywhere in the world.

Now in its 30th year, organisers say it is the largest global accreditation scheme for food and drink. 

In total, Pembrokeshire food businesses got 18 prizes, and whilst there were none that achieved three stars there were a few that got either two or one.
