Our client SPAR’s luxury mince pies have won at the BBC Good Food’s Christmas Taste Awards 2020. The awards are blind tasted by an expert panel of BBC Good Food judges. SPAR’s mince pies reigned supreme; beating off competition from all major supermarkets.

The judges said about SPAR’s mince pies: “These pies have a lovely golden colour and crumbly, buttery pastry. The filling is sweet and jammy, with chunky pieces of plump, soaked fruit and a good hit of citrus from the candied peel.”

We’re delighted to report that our client Dapur Mariae has won the Small Producer Award 2020 at the Quality Food Awards for their wonderful homemade Malaysian sauces.

After winning 2 Quality Food Awards in 2019, Mariae and Gerard Hackett approached us to help them scale up their outstanding Malaysian products they produced in their home kitchen.  They also run farmers markets, sell locally and run supper clubs. Their intention was to outsource their products whilst ensuring the quality is maintained and produced in line with their authentic roots…in Malaysia.

We are currently working on this brief and we look forward to seeing the future success of this brand as it comes to market.
