Rachel Green reigns supreme at the Eat Game Awards 2025

Held in the stunning Soane Hall, Marylebone, the ninth annual Eat Game Awards was an evening filled with glitz, glamour and a celebration of the best in the industry.

With a mix of first-time finalists and returning champions, the event showcased the growing influence and appreciation of game meat.

Several familiar faces returned to claim victory once again, with Mark Kempson retaining his title as Best Chef, Cai Ap Bryn once again winning Best Influencer, and Maisebrooke Farm Shop securing the Best Small Retailer award for a second year in a row.

It was also a standout night for Ragley Estate – named Best Butcher – just months before it prepares to host The Game Fair in July.

BASC’s executive director of conservation, Matt Ellis, said: “The Eat Game Awards not only celebrate those making an impact within the industry but also highlight the increasing demand and appreciation for game meat.

“Each year, we see more entries, more new faces and a growing public interest in the incredible businesses and individuals championing game.

“The work we do in educating and promoting game meat is essential, and it’s inspiring to see so many others sharing the message with such passion and dedication.”

With new winners, returning champions, and a clear message that the appetite for game meat continues to grow, the 2025 Eat Game Awards proved once again why they are the premier event for recognising excellence in the industry.
