A PEMBROKE-based seafood business is making waves again.

Pembrokeshire Beach Food Company has been named as a finalist in BBC Radio 4’s Food and Farming Awards.

The company faces competition from London’s Tongue ‘n’ Cheek and Bristol’s Chilli Daddy in the best street food/takeaway category.

Using ingredients from the Pembrokeshire coastline – including a variety of seaweeds from Freshwater West – the company is well-known for its unique seashore wraps, sea-inspired cakes and sea-foraged deli products.

Owner Jonathan Williams, from Pembroke, started the business on a part-time basis in 2010 while working full-time.

But due to high demand, Jonathan soon hung up his office suit for a chef’s hat to run the company full time.

Last September, its Cafe Mor trailer at Freshwater West featured on BBC2’s James Martin’s Food Map of Britain. The award-winning producers also began supplying its Ship’s Biscuits to her majesty’s grocery store of choice, Fortnum & Mason, in January.

There were more than 6,000 nominations for this year’s competition, with Pembrokeshire Beach Food Company making the final cut alongside 23 organisations behind the best of British food.

Chef and writer Valentine Warner chairs this year’s panel of judges which includes farmer and Countryfile presenter Adam Henson, blogger Jack Monroe, food writer Charles Campion and chefs Raymond Blanc and Richard Corrigan.

Ms Warner said: “There are so many stories of food producers and retailers, caterers and markets - all so loved and valued by their customers and their communities, and in every part of the UK.

“If anyone thinks the food renaissance has been confined to a few select areas, this list of finalists is proof that they’re wrong.”

The winners will be announced at a ceremony at Bristol on Thursday, May 1.
