The winners of the Great Taste Golden Forks 2024 have been announced. At a glittering awards ceremony in London’s Battersea Arts Centre on Tuesday 10th September, the very best of the food and drink world celebrated at the grand finale of the Guild of Fine Food’s Great Taste awards scheme.

There were 16 Great Taste Golden Forks presented at this year’s awards, with two new trophies for Sustainability and Better Business joining the line up.

Dark Woods Coffee won the inaugural Better Business accolade for their values-driven approach to business, the environment and community.

Ian Agnew, Director of Dark Woods Coffee “We’re absolutely delighted to have won this new Golden Fork award for Better Business. We always do our best to consider the impact we have on the environment, our local community and the global coffee-growing community; and to strive to keep making positive changes. That’s why this award means so much to us, knowing that it recognises our efforts as a business, not just the quality of the coffee we produce”.

The additional awards were added this year to recognise the substantial efforts of many companies, and importance we should all place, on businesses not only making delicious products, but also conducting themselves in ways that ensure they also look after their communities, teams, environment and supply chain.

The 16 Golden Fork winners were the standout products from nearly 14,000 to enter this year’s Great Taste awards.

John Farrand, managing director of the Guild of Fine Food comments: “It is important to understand that Great Taste is merely the process that identifies 1-, 2- and 3-star winners and, in doing so, encourages makers to improve. Now at its climax, in announcing the Golden Forks we are celebrating the very best producers; those who take care to ensure their products hit the markers of trusted raw ingredients, simple production methods, and food & drink that has personality, but ultimately, that tastes great.

“We’re particularly chuffed to be doing our thing for international trade and relations by welcoming entries from 115 countries this year and, in addition, bestowing two new awards, one to a company that demonstrates inspiring business acumen, and the other to an organisation showing genuine commitment to sustainability. These winners must at the same time, be making outstanding food & drink. ”
