THIS week in our second annual Food and Drink Awards, we're looking to give those independent producers a well-deserved pat on the back. 

Whether it's a butcher, baker or cake maker, we want to hear from you. 

Is there an independent pie shop which beats all the chains in Warrington?

Or perhaps you know of a brilliant baker who made the perfect birthday cake for your little one?

Or maybe there's a farm shop or butchers who always serves you the best produce with a smile?

Tell us the name of your favourite independent producer in Warrington below, tweet them to @warringtonnews or post them on our Facebook wall.

And don't forget to tell us why you think they're the best.

The most popular suggestions will battle it out in Friday's ballot.

Over the last few weeks we have been revealing a different category every Monday evening in the Warrington Guardian Food and Drink Awards and calling on readers for their suggestions.

Then on Fridays, it is time for foodie fans to get voting for their favourite with the overall winners revealed in a special feature in the Warrington Guardian later this year.
