Over the last few months, Richard has been running a competition to find the best pub, independent shop and restaurant/cafe in North East Bedfordshire as nominated and then voted by local residents. Voting closed at the end of November and Richard announced the winners this week.
Richard Fuller MP said:
The constituents of North East Bedfordshire have spoken and I can announce the results of my competition to find the favourite pub, cafe/restaurant and independent shop in my constituency.
I will be arranging visits to present certificates to the winners in the coming few days but I know the anticipation has been building since voting ended a week ago so let's put everyone out of their misery:
By a very small margin, the pub with the most votes was The Rose Pub Biggleswade, just holding off The Bell Sandy.
It was also a tight race in the Independent Store category with Biggleswade's The Gorgeous Gift & Card Company narrowly edging out GandM Growers of Upper Caldecote.
Whilst certainly not a landslide, there was a very clear winner in the best Cafe or Restaurant competition with Pecoro of Sandy claiming the prize.
Many congratulations to the outstanding winners, the fabulous runners-up but also to all of the great pubs, shops, cafes, restaurants and other businesses in North East Bedfordshire that provide so much employment, quality products and services and contribute so much to our local communities.
