Awards were presented by Derbyshire Dairy Farmer and After-Dinner Speaker Peter Slack. Welbeck Farm Shop General Manager Oliver Stubbins attended the Gala Dinner at The Holiday Inn, Peterborough West, with Food & Beverage Manager Ricky Stephenson and was thrilled to receive the award.

“The judging included mystery shops and a detailed visit from one of the country's most experienced independent master butchers, who spent two hours talking to the team and checking what we do, how and why.
“As a team, we love what we do and the produce we sell, and being recognised by customers, peers and judges makes this even more rewarding.”
Since opening in 2006, Welbeck Farm Shop has earned a reputation for being one of the region's best farm shops. Awards collected along the way include Midlands and East of England Butcher’s Shop of the Year 2022 and scooping the crown for Farm Shop Small Retailer of the Year at the Farm Shop and Deli Awards in 2020.
