It's Time to Celebrate...

East Lincolnshire proudly boasts some of the country’s best local producers and is a real foodie heaven and we will be proudly celebrating the area’s local producers and businesses during British Food Fortnight.

With a wealth of award-winning butchers, the county is best known for the humble Lincolnshire sausage. Of course, sausages aren’t the only great Lincolnshire export, we also produce delicious Stuffed Chine and Lincolnshire Plum Loaf, often made using recipes handed down through generations.

The much loved Lincolnshire Poacher Cheese also carries the county’s name far and wide, but when you’re here, you can see for yourself the diversity of meat, cheese, baked goods, ice creams and much more that is locally produced and available to purchase in the array of independent shops – and one taste will tell you why they are so highly rated.

East Lincolnshire doesn’t just offer great food, it is also home to several local brewers producing speciality real ales and ciders.

A great place to experience the variety on offer is at the regular farmers’ markets in Louth and Horncastle.You can browse the stalls at leisure, chat to the stallholders and get a genuine sense of how much care and attention goes into bringing quality foodstuffs to the table.

The great thing about Lincolnshire food and drink producers is that many also supply local cafes, tea rooms and restaurants.Whether you’ve chosen to have a stylish restaurant meal, afternoon tea in a village café, or lunch in a country pub, there are plenty of places to satisfy any appetite for good food.Just keep an eye out for the Select Lincolnshire logo that guarantees the presence of high quality food on the menu.Many places will be able to tell you exactly where the raw ingredients of your meal have come from giving an authentic farm to fork experience.
