MULTIPLE Stroud businesses have been nominated for the inaugural Gloucestershire Foodie Awards evening which will be held next week.
Non Solo Pasta, Salt Bakehouse, Eastington Farm Shop and Josh Ambridge from Choux Bun Appetit are among those who have been nominated for the awards.
Foodie Awards founder and director Jonathan Smith said: “We have been impressed by the response.
"Seeing the amazing Gloucestershire talent and passion from those entering is exciting. Guests can try an array of bite-size food plates – a true taste of Gloucestershire – from street food to cordon bleu ‘pop-up’ tables and foodie vans set up around the venue – we hope a true representation of what defines Gloucestershire Food.”
