Enjoy England Awards for Excellence 2010

We have some great news we would like to share although some of you may have seen in the press.

It was a case of second time lucky last Friday at the annual tourism awards in Brighton; last year the team took Silver in the hotel category but this year we were delighted to be presented with the VisitEngland Gold award for the Taste of England category

We were one of 46 national finalists selected from over 100 regional winners submitted by regional tourist boards. The Bildeston Crown was the only representative for Suffolk and was put forward as a result of winning the East of England heats. All finalists were rigorously assessed by independent assessors and a team of judges to make it through to the national final.

Having won Silver in 2009 for "hotel", we thought long and hard about whether we should enter again but as food is the very heart of what The Bildeston Crown stands for, we could not resist going for the "Taste of England" award. After all how many hotels or restaurants can truly say that have their very own farm just down the road, providing the very best lamb and fantastic Suffolk red poll beef? Now that is truly using local food and a celebration of what is the Taste of England.

It is fantastic that what we are doing at The Bildeston Crown has been recognized by the country's tourism body but even more important is the fact that so many of you appreciate us and come and visit again and again.

But then Suffolk food is amongst the very best and so The Bildeston Crown is extremely proud to bring the Taste of England Award to the county.
