Located in the heart of the beautiful North West region of England, the storied county of Cheshire presents a feast for the senses for food connoisseurs and gastronauts alike. This pastoral haven is fondly famous for its rich agricultural heritage which traces back to Roman times, and that rich history is reflected in the cuisine present in the area. Notably, it is home to the illustrious 'Cheshire Cheese', one of the oldest recorded named cheeses in British history, which continues to tantalize the taste buds of discerning gourmands with its crumbly, full-bodied flavour and slightly salty tang. Additionally, Cheshire is home to a distinguished dining scene that boasts an enticing combination of traditional country pubs and innovative, contemporary restaurants. Many of these wonderful establishments are housed in historic buildings, each steeped in tradition and brimming with tales of times past. Stories of smugglers, royal visits, and literary legends become the talking point over gourmet delights, contributing to the county's dining charm. What's more, the close connection of Cheshire's culinary centres to local farms, urban markets, and the Irish Sea provides a unique farm-to-fork experience, ensuring the freshest produce graces each plate. Simply put, for those with an appreciation for history on the plate and in the glass, Cheshire serves up a veritable banquet.
