Frozen


Booker, Chef’s Larder Premium Extra Chunky Gourmet Chips Our second winner in the frozen category was one of the judges’ favourites – the ubiquitous chip. Tasting comments


included: “good looking,” “tastes just like it should,” “versatile and delicious,” and “very moreish and deserving of freezer space”. The gluten-free chips are triple-cooked for a soft, fluffy centre and


crispy coated to retain heat for longer. They are suitable for deep-frying or oven cooking and contain no artificial colours or preservatives. www.booker.co.uk


Hot beverages (Coffee) Bidvest Foodservice, Black&White Dark Roast Coffee This coffee was chosen for its rounded flavour with a good bitterness and an excellent nose and was highly praised for its crema. The judges tasted chocolate and caramel and a caffeine kick, making


it perfect for an espresso or as a base for a cappuccino or latte. www.bidvest.co.uk


Hot beverages (Tea)


Twinings, Gingerbread Chai Latte “This delivers on taste in bucket-


loads, yet it’s such a subtle warming taste,” said our judges.


Assam tea is combined with


traditional Indian spices and warming gingerbread to make a full-bodied chai. It’s moderately sweet and


delivers a beautiful spiced aroma. www.twinings.co.uk
