UKTV Food: Local Hero 2008 in association with Enjoy England
Following two successful series in 2006 and 2007, Gary Rhodes’ Local Food Hero is back with a third series to celebrate those committed champions that go the extra mile in the name of high quality food. Once again Gary will be looking for passionate producers, spectacular specialist retailers, funky fast food and the most highly rated restaurants.
These awards ask food lovers to vote for, and reward, their food heroes’ passion for putting quality food on our plates.
To nominate, vote and review your favourite food business simply log onto the Local Hero directory on www.uktvfood.co.uk. Public voting will close on 14th July and the top 20 nominations with the most votes in each region will go through to the regional heats.
An expert panel will sift through these 200 nationwide contestants and select a shortlist of five in each region. The top 50 outlets will be featured in the series and each has a chance to win £40,000 to invest in making their business the best it can be.
All nominees are listed in the Local Food Hero directory on the UKTV Food website where you’ll find an interactive map, customer reviews, videos and images of food heroes in every corner of the UK.
