A BRADFORD farm shop has been crowned a Shop of the Year at an awards ceremony.

Keelham Farm Shop, in Thornton, was voted Best Farm Shop by the Guild of Fine Food.

The awards were established to recognise and promote excellence in the industry, and an accreditation scheme was newly expanded this year to offer more opportunities for small independent retailers.

All the trophies were presented at No. 42 Southwark Street, the Guild of Fine Food’s London base, where the world of fine food gathered to find out the winners of each category, selected following two rounds of judging over the summer, which included an announced visit from one of the industry expert judges and a mystery shop by customer experience experts, Insight6.
