The overall wining entry came from Robert and Ally Bruce, Enniskillen. A close second came in the form of Benn Whyte from South West College and the Enniskillen Hotel. Joint third was Ian Staunton, South West College and Carina Johnston, Jolly Sandwich. Eileen Burns came in fourth place.
The overall winner of the Black Pudding festival business award went to the Jolly Sandwich, Enniskillen, who ‘embraced the fun element of the festival with a great array of black pudding foods including black pudding pizza, stuffed peppers and black pudding potato and apple dishes.
