Two Norfolk businesses that fly the flag for local produce are in the running for national awards.
The Norfolk Deli in Hunstanton and The Goat Shed in Honingham are both finalists in the Farm Shop and Deli Retailer Awards 2023.
The Norfolk Deli has been shortlisted in the small delicatessen category as just five full-time employees work there.

Despite its small workforce, it has won a whole host of accolades and this year is launching food and drink subscription boxes.
Mark Kacary, the owner, said: "The importance of this award is not so much whether we win, but the fact that it highlights the range of food and drink retailers available to the public beyond supermarkets."
Elsewhere in Norfolk, The Goat Shed in Honingham is a finalist in the large farm shop category, which was opened by Sam Steggles in 2021 after a £250,000 investment.
It also has a popular café and a newly-revamped cheese room and deli.
The winners will be revealed at the Farm Shop and Deli Show in Birmingham on April 25.
