Multi-award winning Delifonseca Dockside has been named as a finalist for another prestigious accolade.
The Brunswick Quay eatery beat off stiff nationwide competition to secure a place in the Food Hall of the Year category shortlist at the Farm Shop & Deli Awards.
Following evaluation, deliberation, secret visits and mystery shops by a panel of top industry experts, Delifonseca Dockside will join a number specialists from the independent retail market at the award show in Birmingham’s NEC on April 24.
Now in its fourth year, the Farm Shop & Deli Awards recognise the very best standards in the UK’s independent speciality retail market by celebrating the highest levels of service, product knowledge, initiative, innovation and community involvement offered by ‘heroes of the high street’.
Candice Fonseca, proprietor of Delifonseca, said: “Having been shortlisted in the Farm Shop & Deli Awards for the third year running, it offers a mixed sense of pride and excitement amongst the team.
“We are thrilled to have been selected from such a high volume and calibre of entrants to secure a place in the final.
“To be regarded on a national scale as a result of the panel’s in-depth analysis, which studied our operation, staff’s product knowledge and our commitment to stocking locally sourced products, not only helps to further the recognition of our provision, but it also puts the city of Liverpool on the good food map.
“The news of our shortlist now means that we are we currently up for not just one but two awards, as we were also recently nominated in the ‘Taste’ category in the Liverpool City Region Tourism Awards.
“With that in mind, 2017 is looking to be a very exciting year indeed.”
