Nearly 50 South Hams businesses named in the Food and Drink Devon Awards

47 South Hams businesses have been named in the Food and Drink Devon Awards, including five of our amazing members. 

The 2026 Food Drink Devon Awards celebrate the people and places making Devon’s food and drink scene so special, from exceptional local produce and passionate independent makers to outstanding restaurants, cafés, pubs and takeaways. 

Five of our members were named, with Aune Valley Meats being awarded six times.

Aune Valley Meats were given a gold Retailer Award for both their Modbury and Loddiswell shops, a silver Producer Award for their Sweet Chilli Sausage, a bronze Producer Award for their Pork Pie and their Valley View Cafe received a gold Hospitality Award and a bronze Producer Award for their Biscoff Crispie Millionaire Slice, which I don't know about you, but sounds INSANE and I must have one. 

Fika Coffee House in Kingsbridge were given three awards. They won a gold Hospitality Award, a silver Producer Award for their Banana and Chocolate Bread and a bronze Producer Award for their Artisan Nut and Coconut Granola/Choc Nut Bliss Balls.
