Steve and Andrew had a fantastic – and late – night at the Deliciously Yorkshire awards on Wednesday 6th November at the Yorkshire Pavilions in Harrogate.
We’re delighted to report that we won the ‘Prepared Meat Hot’ category with our smoked back bacon against some impressive fellow contenders. As Deliciously Yorkshire said, “Drake & Macefield’s entry was a serious standout for the judges who loved its perfectly controlled level of smoke. Moist, unctuous and well balanced, the fat is juicy and full of flavour with the perfect level of salt. We love its rich sweetness and know that breakfast would be memorable with this on our plates!”
Deliciously Yorkshire supports the Yorkshire food and drink community, promoting our region’s best fayre by respecting tradition, encouraging innovation and celebrating great taste. We are hugely honoured that all the hard work that goes on behind the scenes at Drake & Macefield, in smoking and curing at our Crosshills processing unit, has been recognised by this prestigious award which was presented by ‘the Yorkshire Shepherdess’, Amanda Owen and celebrity chef Stephanie Moon.
Look out for us in the 2024 Taste Awards Winners Supplement published on 16th November in The Yorkshire Post newspaper’s Country Week section.
