• Entry for the 2014 awards is now open and closes on 31st August.

• The presentation of the awards will take place at Food Matters Live, in November 2014.

N.B. The FreeFrom Eating Out Awards are particularly interested in allergen awareness amongst front of house staff. No matter how good the freefrom food the outlet provides, if the front of house staff cannot give customers correct information about potential allergens in their offering, all of the outlet's efforts will be wasted.
