Hale-based food writer Emma Sturgess found herself in rarefied company last Thursday - collecting a gong at the annual awards of the Guild of Food Writers in London, alongside fellow winners Egon Ronay, Heston Blumenthal and Jamie Oliver.
'Nice one Emma, bosch'
Sturgess was honored with the Restaurant Reviewer of the Year award for her work with the daily free-sheet Metro.
She beat fellow nominees from the Observer and Independent to the accolade.
In securing one of only 12 gongs on offer, Sturgess elbowed her way onto the top table of the food fraternity's most elite writers, journalists and broadcasters.
Blumenthal picked up the accolade of 'Food Book of the Year' for The Big Fat Duck Cookbook, while Oliver won the Derek Cooper Award for Campaigning and Investigative Food Writing for his Jamie's Ministry of Food television series.
Pioneering restaurant reviewer Egon Ronay was honored with a lifetime achievement award.
