THREE Enniskillen businesses are in the running for top accolades at the prestigious ‘NI Food to Go Awards’ which are celebrating some of the best food-to-go businesses.
Henderson’s Foodservice is preparing to celebrate the top food-to-go businesses at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Belfast next Tuesday (November 19) and some local firms are leading the way.
Bigfoot Spuds, owned by Gareth and Alex Prescott, is set to go head to head against some top eateries in its bid to win the prestigious ‘Street Food of the Year’ gong at the Belfast awards.
Enniskillen-based The Crisp Shack has been shortlisted for three categories at the ‘NI Food to Go Awards’, including ‘Street Food of the Year’, ‘Catering Truck of the Year’ and ‘Best Burger to Go’.
Run by Derrylin couple Chris Stapleton and his wife Alex, they have put their own twist on burgers and fries and is a popular stop for many residents in Enniskillen and throughout the county.
Manders Global in Kesh is also nominated for two gongs, the ‘Best Bakery’ and ‘Patisserie to Go’.
There has also been special recognition for Enniskillen woman Donna McManus. She runs the ‘Fermanagh Foodie’ social media channel and has been nominated for ‘Food Blogger of the Year’.
Chief Executive Officer of NI Food to Go, Michael Henderson, is excited for the awards.
“The NI Food to Go Association was thrilled to receive such a significant number of entries for our first ever awards,” chief executive officer, Mr Henderson, said.
“This is an opportunity to showcase our vast array of food to go businesses across Northern Ireland.
