The Young British Foodie Awards are all about shining a light on new British talent in the food and drink world. Now in it’s 5th year the awards celebrate creativity and innovation at grass roots level. Set up by three friends, Amy Thorne of Taste PR, food journalist Chloe Scott-Moncrief and baker extraordinaire Lily Jones (Lily Vanilli), categories include Front of House, Chefs, Street Food and Baking to name a few.
This year saw the awards take place at the gorgeously regal Searcy’s Champagne bar in Knightsbridge. The evening began with some deliciously fruity cocktails from London based distillery Kamms and Sons. Alice Levine and Lauran Jackson, from supper club fame Jackson and Levine, headed up the proceedings by presenting the awards. After all the excitement guests were lead upstairs where an array of canapés awaited them. And they didn’t last long!
MUNCHIES, vice’s food channel were in charge of the roof terrace and it didn’t disappoint. There was a whisky punch bowl fountain and even a specially designed YBF snapchat filter for the event. See some pictures from the night here. Check out the lucky winners and shortlisted people here.
And to all you chefs and front of house gems – don’t forgot to enter next year!
