LOVE Brownies, a family-run bespoke brownie bakery in Ilkley has scooped a prestigious industry award in London this November.

Love Brownies, the brain child of husband and wife team Lee and Chantal Teal from Ilkley were nominated for a Small Producers Award at The UK Small Producer Quality Food Awards – in partnership with the Co-op Supermarket, which took place in Mayfair London at the Grosvenor Hotel on Thursday, November 9.

There were over 2,000 entrants for a number of different categories, the Small Producers Award was whittled down to a shortlist of 15, and Love Brownies were awarded the winning accolade within the ‘ambient’ category.

Chantal Teal, co-owner and head baker at Love Brownies said: “The awards night had 700 people in attendance with all the top buyers from supermarkets and other small producers like Love Brownies, we never thought in a million years that we’d scoop the award.

"Being nominated at the Quality Food Awards meant that we could pitch our little bakery business to the Co-op group. We will find out the results of our pitch in the near future

"We are so delighted with this award, we’re having a great year at the bakery, and awards like this keep up focused!”
