After weeks of searching the nation for a Sunday lunch hero, Red Tractor is pleased to announce the winner - eight year-old Freya Thackray from Bradford.

We had an overwhelming response and looking through the entries it is clear that many people are committed to using Red Tractor quality ingredients when getting together for a traditional Sunday Lunch. And what’s more reassuring is that children as young as eight are aware of where their food comes from.

Freya, along with her friends and family were treated to a winning Red Tractor roast cooked by ITV Chef, Dean Edwards at her home in Bradford. Freya, nominated by her mum, Julie Beddow, was chosen as the winner because she supports her busy mum and dad in the kitchen and loves to cook Sunday lunch for friends and family.

Proud mum Julie said:
“I’m delighted to have won this competition for our daughter Freya, she loves to shop for her ingredients and always makes a point of picking products with the Red Tractor logo on it, she knows this means the food has been produced to good standards. We’re hugely excited to have Dean Edwards cook us a delicious Red Tractor Sunday lunch with all the trimmings!” 

Ten runners up also received £50 worth of Morrisons’ vouchers for their worthy Red Tractor Sunday Lunch Hero nominations. If you’re looking for inspiration for your roast dinner, check out Dean Edward’s exclusive Red Tractor recipes here using Red Tractor assured ingredients.
