A Welshpool food producer has been awarded a prestigious Great Taste Award.
The Bubbling Stove in Welshpool is celebrating after owner Seren Charrington-Hollins picked up a two-star award in this year’s Great Taste Awards.
Seren's Classic Gluten Free Brownie was awarded a Great Taste, Two Star, in the world’s most trusted food and drink accreditation scheme and Bubbling Stove was dubbed a “delightful at all levels. Harmonious and exquisite”.
“We are thrilled to have won a Great Taste award for our Classic Gluten Free Brownies We have dreamt of this moment and are so proud to be adding the prestigious black and gold Great Taste badge of honour to our classic gluten free brownies,” said Seren.

“Being recognised with a Great Taste three-star means so much to independent producers such as myself, as it makes all the hard work and determination worth it.
“Great Taste is the most recognised accolade for taste and quality in the food and drink industry, so it’s a huge moment for us.
“Last year we received nine silver awards from The Great British Food Awards and this year has been truly amazing, receiving a gold from the prestigious Free From Awards in June and now a two-star from Great Taste Awards for Seren's Classic Gluten-Free Brownies and one-Star for Seren's Coffee Caramel Brownie.
“We are truly without words to describe how pleased we are.”

Made with fair-trade chocolate, the brownies are made by hand in small batches.
The winning brownie was described as “generously-sized" with a crisp top, fudgy consistency and rich chocolate aroma.
“The contrast between the crunchy crust, fudgy centre and chocolate chunks was pleasing in the mouth," judges said.
“The intense chocolate used in this brownie cut through the sweetness. This brownie's contrasting crust and soft centre were of standout quality, along with its flavour and lightness.”
