Wiltshire Food & Drink

It's Britain, not France, that today has the healthiest - and tastiest - food culture. And Wiltshire is playing a leading role in it all. Some of the first farmers' markets were held here. The county's rich agriculture and kind climate nurture a bountiful supply of fresh local produce, put to good use in the kitchens of tea shops and bistros, Wiltshire restaurants and hotels. Talented chefs can't help but be inspired, serving everything from traditional favourites to inventive modern cuisine.

Fine Food from Start to Finish

Start your day with a hearty Wiltshire Breakfast, made from the finest, freshest local produce - you'll enjoy it at places that display the Wiltshire Breakfast logo. Wiltshire is famous for its pork and bacon, so you're guaranteed a tasty treat. For a snack at any time of the day call into another local speciality - the county's delightful teashops. Some inns - or are they nowadays called gastro pubs? - sell more food than beer, while an eclectic range of restaurants and bistros cater for all tastes.

Something to Drink?

Try Wiltshire's very own wines, cider and apple juice. Bow in the Cloud Vineyard near Malmesbury produces award-winning dry white wines. a'Becketts near Devizes offer tours and tastings from a vineyard producing whites and reds. Others of note include Wylye Valley Vineyard south of Warminster and Fonthill Glebe Wines near Salisbury.

Real ale fans worship Wiltshire. Devizes is home to the legendary Wadworth Brewery. But Wadworth's famous 6X isn't the only traditional tipple. If a company decides to call itself Stonehenge Ales you can be sure that it sticks to authentic brewing methods - its Old Mill Brewery is on the Salisbury Plain. Moles Brewery, Melksham, produces fine traditional beers and cider. Other award winners include the Hidden Brewery and Hop Back Brewery, both near Salisbury. The Box Steam Brewery at Box is a micro-brewery to which visits can be arranged.
