Burnham-On-Sea firms in the running for national TV food awards

The owners of two local businesses are counting on your vote to win a nationwide food award.

Seafoods on Burnham-On-Sea's High Street and the Pack Horse Inn at Mark, near Burnham, have both been nominated in the 2007 UKTV Food Awards, which seek to find the UK's local food 'heroes'.

Seafoods, which was last month named Somerset's Best Independent Food Shop, is described by the UKTV Web site as "a fantastic fishmonger providing everything the customer could possible want. The smoked fish range is proving particularly popular, as is the charming service."

And the Pack Horse Inn's fresh local food has been singled out for praise on the UKTV Web site. Voting closes on August 20th, and more details can be found here.
