Taste of the West is proud to announce that an awards evening will take place on 3rd February 2026 alongside The Source trade show at Westpoint, Exeter. This event will mark the culmination of a year of judging across food, drink, hospitality, and retail categories—recognising the very best of the South West’s producers and venues.
Despite undergoing significant organisational changes over the past six months, Taste of the West remains committed to honouring every awards entrant. Winners will receive their trophies and the marketing collateral to support their success.
The awards will be different this year; watch this space! and the new team, along with familiar faces, look forward to delivering an evening to remember and celebrate success.
This event also signals the launch of Taste of the West’s renewed vision and manifesto for 2026. Now operating as a Community Interest Company (CIC), the organisation is rolling out new member services, expanding regional support, and reinforcing its mission to champion the South West’s food and drink industry—from Cornwall to the Channel Islands.
More details about the relaunch and upcoming initiatives will be shared soon on www.tasteofthewest.co.uk and across their social channels on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn.
