Stockport was one of the big winners at last night’s Manchester Food and Drink Festival Awards, winning three of the evening’s most influential gongs. Where The Light Gets In scored the most hotly contested award, winning Restaurant of the Year.
The acclaimed restaurant, which is based in a former coffee warehouse in Stockport’s Old Town, beat 10 Tib Lane, Erst, The Sparrows, Another Hand, Mana and The Firehouse to the prize. It also won Pop Up Project of the Year for Food Friday, beating Platt Fields Market Garden, Sao Paulo, Suppher, Eat Well Spring Festival, Bungalow at Kampus and Heart and Parcel.
Foodie Friday’s creators John and Rosemary Barrett also took home the Howard and Ruth Outstanding Achievement Award, previously won by the likes of Store Group’s Mital Morar and Living Ventures’ Jeremy Roberts.
