UK Quality Food & Drink Awards are back for 2026.
This year, we enter a new chapter.
Refreshed, reimagined and future-focused, these awards celebrate the products, brands, retailers and businesses shaping how the UK eats and drinks. From everyday grocery staples to festive favourites, from foodservice innovation to health-led products and world-class drinks, our categories reflect a modern, dynamic marketplace.
Judged solely by leading retail, foodservice and industry experts , every entry is assessed through a rigorous, independent tasting and evaluation process. Quality remains at our core; but innovation, relevance and performance sit closely alongside it.
Whether you are a challenger brand, a small producer, a major retailer or an established supplier, The Quality Food and Drink Awards provide a trusted platform to showcase excellence, gain industry recognition and stand out in a competitive market.
This is where quality meets progress. This is where the UK's best food and drink are recognised.
