Over the coming weeks, customers will be able to vote for Haley & Clifford and their comments will be shown to a panel of independent judges who gather together in June and choose a short list of regional winners. A series of mystery visits then take place and the winning deli will be announced in September at the Great Taste Awards dinner in London. The Deli of the Year Award is judged by some of the UK’s leading food experts therefore is a highly sought accolade.

Customers of Haley & Clifford are invited to pop into the shop to show their support and to visit www.delioftheyear.co.uk to add their vote.

“We hope our customers will support our quest to be the Deli of the Year 2012. Last year we won Deli of the Year, North East and made it into the last ten delis in the UK. Having come so close in 2011, we want the big one in 2012- the overall winner’s title! We know that our customers love everything about deli food – so we hope that they’ll pop in to see us and support us.  Last year, hundreds of people voted for us, and the comments we received were truly amazing. We’d like to make our entry really stand out again so that the judges can’t ignore us and so we’re asking all our customers to come in and leave a comment – then we’ll include these in our pack which is sent to the judges!” said Val Berry.
