Delifonseca Dockside has been named as a runner-up in this year’s Butcher’s Shop of the Year Awards as part of its Edge & Son collaboration.

The award-winning Brunswick Quay eatery and deli, along with its in-house butchery concession, attended an exclusive awards ceremony, where the duo was commended in the ‘Food Hall Butchery Business of the Year’ category.

Proprietor of Delifonseca Candice Fonseca said:

“It’s fantastic that since we have joined forces with Edge & Son earlier this year, our combined efforts to offer locally sourced, good produce have been recognised by such bodies as Meat Trades Journal’s prestigious Butcher’s Shop of the Year Awards 2016.

“Spanning five generations, Edge & Son prides itself on its personal relationship with local farmers, which allows our team to relay specific product information to our food savvy shoppers that want to know exactly what they are eating and where it came from. It is because of this personable approach that makes our collaboration work harmoniously.”

Delifonseca Dockside is renowned for its extensive food hall offerings and is stocked with quality staples, together with foodie provisions that support small local, regional and international artisan producers. The in-house Edge & Son concession sells the very best meat from local, free range, British, native and rare breed livestock.

Owner of Edge & Son Callum Edge said:

“It has been an utter pleasure joining Delifonseca in the heart of Liverpool and providing the best tasting traditionally bred and fed meat to our customers, new and old in Liverpool. It is an honour to be included in the distinguished list of finalists so soon after joining Delifonseca!”

Having built up a reputation over the past 22 years, the Butcher’s Shop of the Year Awards celebrates national butchery excellence by recognising and honouring those that are representing the industry.

To celebrate being recognised as one of the top three ‘Food Hall Butchers’ in the country, Edge & Son is offering a 15% discount on all traditional roasting joints throughout November, which is redeemable at the butchery counter housed within Delifonseca Dockside. Just mention the award!
