From fish and chip shops to cosy cafes, a number of Suffolk businesses have been named winners in the Good Food Awards 2023.
The independent awards are free to enter and the votes are cast by the public, with five categories recognising culinary excellence.
These are for restaurants, cafés, fish and chip shops, takeaways and gastropubs, with a separate one for hotels, too.
The Blue Ribbon accolade recognises places with high customer ratings and votes and the Gold Seal is for those that achieve consistently high customer ratings and votes over three years.
