A Norfolk-based food hall has been named as one of the finalists in the Guild of Fine Food's annual Shop of the Year awards.

Bakers and Larners in Holt is one of 45 independent retail outlets chosen, and is named in the food hall category.

The awards recognise and promote excellence in independent retail.

The shop will now receive an announced visit from one of the judges and a mystery shopper.

Michael Baker, Managing Director of Bakers & Larners, said: 'We are overwhelmed by this nomination and are incredibly grateful to receive this accolade, which is a huge endorsement of the hard work and enthusiasm of our staff.'

The judges will rate, score and provide feedback on every aspect of the shops before agreeing on an overall category winner.

The winner will be announced on Monday, March 11 at Fodder Farm Shop and Café in Harrogate.
