Nominations for the Bridport Local Food Group Food & Drink Lockdown Hero Awards are now closed. The awards have been devised to give residents the opportunity to recognise and give thanks to local food and drink businesses which have risen to the challenges of the pandemic. Residents have been encouraged over the past two months to nominate a local business which they believe have gone the extra mile to provide them with a service during any or all of the lockdown periods. There are six different categories and each category will be see a winner and a runner up, judged by the number of votes and quality of comments received.
