Winners of the Good Food Awards 2024 have been revealed

Just in time to fill the cupboards for Christmas, the winners of the Good Food Awards 2024 have been revealed.

This year's winners were announced last night at a glamorous awards ceremony at The K Club in County Kildare attended by some 300 guests including Irish and international chefs, buyers, food and drink writers, media and industry leaders.

Guests enjoyed a 5-course meal designed by The K Club's Executive Chef Gary O’Hanlon inspired by our island’s landscape and seascape showcasing the freshest of ingredients from Irish suppliers, which was fitting for a ceremony that championed the breadth of Irish produce.
