A family-run business near Harrogate that specialises in free-from food has picked up national recognition for its scotch eggs.
Voakes Free From won Product of the Year at the 2025 Free From Food Awards in London for their gluten-free Traditional Pork Scotch Egg.
The business, based at Whixley, picked up a string of gold and silver awards across multiple categories, competing alongside big-name brands like Tesco, M&S, Schär and Nomo.
