A Doncaster coffee house and fish and chip takeaway have received high praise from the Good Food Awards

Founded on independence and integrity, the awards have been delighting readers and fans since 2002.

A spokesman said: “Our unique awards, recognise those who strive for culinary excellence within their field.

"Our Good Food Awards are free to enter and entirely based on merit.

“With some 599,370 eating establishments¹ within the UK, competition for our Good Food Awards was unsurprisingly tough.

"We were taken aback by the record number of entrants and votes cast for the finalists by readers, customers and fans alike. It was heart-warming to see the support our winners received.

“Chosen for their food quality, service and value, our Good Food Awards are bestowed upon those with high customer ratings/votes and are known as – the Blue Ribbon for Delicious Dishes™.

"Some premises will appear in our awards regularly. They must earn their place by maintaining the same high standards¹ that gained them initial entry. Our highly revered Gold Seal, is bestowed upon those achieving consistently high customer ratings/votes over three years, making our Gold Seal a marque of distinction.”

Doncaster winners in the Blue Ribbon awards for cafes, and fish and chips, were The Glass Strawberry, 48-50 Printing Office Street, Doncaster, DN1 1TR; and Harry's Fish Bar and Restaurant, 18 High Street, Hatfield, DN7 4BP. Well done.
