Winner

Big Oz Organics
Gluten free cereal selection

'Consistently tasty and a good variety within the selection. Relatively high sugar content but more than a nod toward healthy ingredients.'

'This product offers hotels a broad range of gluten-free breakfast options with just one product –  massively useful in the catering market.'

Highly Commended

Delicious Alchemy – Ginger Cake

‘Really yummy, soft, moist gingery cake – never know that it was gluten free.'

Glamour Puds – Bakewell Tart

'Lovely crisp pastry, delicious almond flavoured sponge and
not too sweet, excellent jam. And it is not only gluten but dairy and soya free too! That is an achievement...'

Green's – India Pale Ale

'Great fruity aroma and flavour, dark in colour and dances on the palate.'  
'Slightly bitter with a fruity after taste but excellent for being gluten free.'

Westerham Brewery –
William Wilberforce Freedom ale

'Fruity, deep taste and a fruity aroma. Very strong on palate and a somewhat unusual taste – but this is not a criticism!'
'Dark smokey flavour – grows on me with drinking.'

Commended

BFree – Multiseed bagels 

‘Nice chewy texture and great to taste all those seeds, but quite sweet.'

‘Lovely golden batter – a 'must' for the catering market.'
'Excellent crispy batter – and free of wheat/gluten, dairy, soya
and egg – amazing!'

'Like a European white beer - extremely drinkable.'

Ten Acre Crisps – The Day Sweet And Sour Became Friends 

‘Very interesting crisp, great flavour – more please.'
'Good texture. Rather too sweet but guess the clue is in the
