Good Food Ireland Awards announce Northern Irish finalists for 2025
The final takes place in November
A number of businesses across Northern Ireland have been recognised in the final of the Good Food Ireland Awards 2025.
The Good Food Ireland Awards celebrate the best in food, drink and hospitality from across the entire island of Ireland - honouring the people and places that champion authentic taste, local sourcing, sustainability and exceptional visitor experiences.
This year’s NI finalists span the full breadth of the industry, from five-star and boutique hotels to artisan food and drink producers, family-run butchers, destination restaurants and unique food tourism experiences.
Finalists were selected by an independent panel of experts following mystery inspections and detailed assessments with strict judging criteria that include commitment to local sourcing, local provenance and sustainability.
Taking place on Monday, November 10 in Co Kildare, the Awards will see finalists from every corner of Ireland gather to celebrate the very best in food, drink and hospitality.
