Drumroll Please!
We’re thrilled to announce the winners, selected by an independent panel of expert judges, chaired by Angela Hartnett OBE, from work published or broadcast in 2024.
The Personality of the Year, Content Creator of the Year and Rising Star Content Creator of the Year are voted for by the public.
The winner in each category receives a unique trophy created by eco-parametric architects Mamou Mani and a Fortnum & Mason Hamper.
"It’s an honour and a privilege to judge this year’s Fortnum & Mason Food and Drink Awards. In complicated times for media, both online and off, the range and diversity of the voices, culinary traditions and approaches represented by the huge number of entries, is proof that there is an awful lot to celebrate about the state of food and drink coverage in the UK. Judging also made me constantly hungry."
