The awards, held at the Comedy Store, Manchester, were presented by Kate Goodman and Amelia Singer, both Wine TV presenters.

Fiona and Barry Howarth from the business, which is based in Greaves Road, said: “This award means so much to us, as we won because of our customers voting for us, and leaving their comments about us. One judge told us afterwards, ‘you had by far the most vote and comments’ and we always say, we wouldn’t be here without our fantastic customers!
