Thank you to our 2026 Sponsors & Partners

Welcome to the 2026 Quality Food & Drink Awards

Now in its 47th year, The Qs are back for 2026.

Celebrating outstanding products, available to purchase in the UK, the awards honour outstanding taste, craftsmanship, innovation and product integrity across a wide range of categories including All Year Round, Foodservice, Drinks, Baby & Toddler, Health & Nutrition and Performance.

This year marks a new chapter for The Qs, with the reintroduction of our Drinks Categories, in collaboration with London Wine Fair, and return to a gala dinner awards event.

Join us on Tuesday 10 November to celebrate the finest food and drink products here in the UK.

Meet this year's food category finalists

This year's juging took place over three weeks at 1 Wimpole Street in the heart of London. Our panels of industry-leading expert judges assessed each product against our 10 point juudging criteria before deciding which ones were worthy of a Bronze, Silver or Gold accolade.

Unlike other food and drink awards, we don't blind-taste our products and we don't limit the number of accolades that can be awarded in each category. Detailed judges' feedback is also given to our entrants, and we don't charge for winner logo usage.

Meet this year's Christmas category winners

Each year we reveal the winning products in our Christmas categories in advance of our in-person awards event, giving our winners ample time to promote their wins in their Christmas campaigns.

We will be celebrating our Christmas winners, and awarding trophies to those that were awarded a Gold accoade, at our awards ceremony on Tuesday 10 November at Hilton Bankside, London.

Congratulations to this year's winners!

An evening of celebration

After a few years of hosting our awards event in a more informal networking style, we are excited to reveal that we are returning to a black tie gala dinner for 2026.

Tickets are now on sale!
