An organic farm bakery known for its loaves and home-baked treats has been awarded a Gold Star at this years Great Taste Awards. The honour is not for a bake, however; the recognition goes to one of its tasty cordials.

Side Oven Bakery, at Carr House Farm, Foston on the Wolds, near Driffield, announced the news saying: We are national award winners! We are delighted that our Organic Ginger with Lemon Cordial has been awarded a Gold Star in this year's Great Taste Awards.

When we do tastings of this cordial at food festivals it is always the flavour that sells out and that just speaks for itself. It is a truly versatile drink too as in the winter it can be enjoyed as a lovely comforting hot drink or in the summer, simply mix with sparkling water for a very refreshing drink.

Made with real root ginger and real lemons (no chemical flavouring here!) we leave the fruits to infuse to allow the maximum flavour and goodness to develop. Side Oven Bakerys winning cordial is made on the farm alongside other organic cordials, including elderflower and blackcurrant, and apple juice.

More East Yorkshire food and drink producers have been successful at the Great Taste Awards, a trusted scheme run by the Guild of Fine Food and considered the Oscars of the food industry. Dans Pies of Pocklington came away with a 1-Star Award for its Steak & Wetherby Brew Ale Pie and also a 1-Star Award for its Classic Steak Pie.
