With only days to go until the 2025 Cumbria Food Awards winners are revealed, we are very excited to unveil our latest platform.
We have created the new platform for the finalists of the prestigious awards – and it will tell you everything you need to know about them.
From restaurants and cafes to tap rooms and butchers – this is your guide to the best of the best in Cumbria.
With a handy interactive map of all our finalists, plus information about their products, their stories and their links – it really is a one stop shop for you to find the cream of the county’s food royalty.

Not only that, but Cumbria Crack aims to expand the platform in the coming weeks to include as many food and drink producers, restaurants, cafes, bars, pubs, and bistros across Cumbria and the Lake District, making it essential for you to plan your food and drink journey across our fair county.

The independent Cumbria Food Awards will be held at Kendal College on Thursday, March 20, hosted by chef and TV presenter Matt Tebbutt.
There were more than 1,000 business entries and public nominations for 13 competitive categories, which were considered by an independent panel of 15 judges.
Organisers announced that they have renamed the night’s top prize in memory of the late TV presenter and Hairy Biker Dave Myers.
Host Matt will announce the winner of the trophy for the newly named Dave Myers Cumbrian Food and Drink Hero.
Dave, who died in February last year, was from Barrow and with his friend, Si King, rose to fame as one half of the Hairy Bikers.
Travelling all over the world, he remained very proud of his home county and its food heritage and agreed to host the first Cumbria Food Awards, in 2022, when he was accompanied by his wife, Lili.
