Joshuas Awards
Joshua’s Harvest Store Awards
Great Taste Awards
‘The Great Taste Awards has gained widespread recognition among the country's retailers and consumers and is now seen as the benchmark for fine food in the UK. Products fortunate enough to receive an award cannot only claim to be of the finest quality, but prove it too.’

We are very proud of our Great Taste Awards. Year after year Joshua’s own made foods have competed against hundreds of other products and we have been recognised with numerous awards as you can see from the list below. The reason we love the Great Taste Awards so much is that like us they care about the quality and taste of the product first and foremost, rather than considering packaging and branding. As you know we aim to keep our packaging to a minimum and also use simple and clear labelling allowing true pricing rather than raising costs with flash branding. Like the Fine Food Guild we believe it is what’s inside the packet that counts and we can guarantee that our products have all been hand made with care using the very finest ingredients.
