Taste Knutsford is Three

Knutsford’s walking food tour, Taste Knutsford, launched in the autumn of 2018 has recently celebrated its 3rd 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 the tour guides are Knutsfordian foodies Lucy Farnon, Nicola Arnell, and Colette Clarke.

Sandra Curties, Town Centre and Marketing Officer said, “Since Autumn 2018 around, 250 people have enjoyed a food tour – meaning they have tasted 250 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”.

Sandra added, “We obviously had to take a break in 2020 and we were concerned how people would respond to the concept, but we’ve had a steady stream of bookings including a corporate booking which is a lovely way of getting staff back together after working from home for so long”

The tours can be booked via:
