Knutsford’s walking food tour, Taste Knutsford, launched last autumn has recently celebrated its 1st birthday.
The tour showcases the best of Knutsford’s culinary offerings with guests walking around Knutsford tasting a variety of foods from brunch, nibbles, ice creams, and sorbet, tapas through to afternoon tea, cheese and gin. The tour lasts approximately 3 hours and is led by local resident and cake maker – Lucy Farnon of Knutsford Bake Club assisted by Nicola Arnell who ensures the social media feed during each tour is kept up to date.
Sandra Curties, Town Centre Manager said, “Since the Autumn 2018 around 160 people have enjoyed a food tour – meaning they have tasted 160 sausage rolls, ice cream, tapas and cheese amongst other treats! We are really pleased about how well the tours have been received, our Trip Advisor reviews, and how hard the venues work when hosting a tour. The guests really love meeting the owners and finding out more about the establishment and Knutsford than you would on a normal visit”.
The tours can be booked via www.tasteknutsford.co.uk and private tours for groups of six or over can also be arranged. These private tours are great for hen nights, birthdays or anniversaries. Eateries taking part in the tour include:
The Market Café, Morgan Edwards Fine Wines & Spirits, Rose & Crown, Evuna, Real Fruit Creamery, Wine & Wallop ,The Old Sessions House, The Cheese Yard, The Courthouse, Dexter & Jones, April’s Kitchen, Project 53, Courtyard Café, Giovanni’s and The Tea Room
Alison Cunliffe of The Real Fruit Creamery said, “We love taking part in these tours. It is a great way to meet people and for people to ask questions, find out about the business and raise awareness”.
Vincent Lazzarini, Director of The Cheese Yard said, “The Taste Knutsford tours are a great opportunity for me to showcase my independent business and what The Cheese Yard has to offer. We look forward to hosting more Taste Knutsford guests in the coming year”.
