Food & drink

British food and drink is best sampled at a local level. Visit a producer or chef at his place of work, or try his food and drink at a farmer’s market, country fair, pub or hotel, and discover the real taste of Britain.

Chefs are revelling in our vibrant food and drink industry, taking inspiration from our rich culinary heritage and the dynamic, fresh cooking styles that make up modern British cooking. 

Visit our multicultural cities and explore the regional specialities of the UK. Enjoy quiet country villages and their cosy teashops, pubs, bustling harbours and the very freshest seafood. 

And with over 400 vineyards and wineries in Britain, you’ll get the chance to sample a really fine vintage during your trip. Or, if you prefer a cool pint at the end of the day, you’ll be pleased to hear that dedicated British brewers are busily producing over 2,000 varieties of real ale.
