The winners of this year’s Food Scotland Awards have been announced, with several Stirling-based businesses coming out on top in the categories.
Back in August, Brig reported on the number of local businesses that were nominated for an award.
The awards, which took place at the Glasgow Marriott Hotel, aim to recognise those businesses which have “helped shape and build Scotland’s reputation of food”.
There were 3 Stirling based food outlets that won an award in their category;
Commenting on the award ceremony, a spokesperson for The Food Awards Scotland said: “It is true that Scotland combines tastes and flavours from all over the world, where visitors can find different restaurants, gastro pubs and bistros, to meet their needs.
