Our beautiful county has become one of the scrummiest places to be with a wonderful range of delicious foods produced here. Visit some of the places or spend a day at one of the food and drink events and worry about the diet another time!
Four Shires Food, Arts and Craft Festival
Held at Whitbourne Hall, there’s plenty going on at the festival that will feature dozens of exhibitors from Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Shropshire and Gloucestershire. With the festivities taking place both inside and outside the Hall, it won’t matter too much if the weather lets us down again – nothing new this summer. This year there will be lots of cookery demonstrations and talks along with fun activities to suit all ages. John Challis (Boycie of Only Fools and Horses) will be making an appearance too and signing copies of his book!
Whitbourne Hall, Whitbourne, Herefordshire WR6 5SE

Rowlestone Farmhouse Ice cream
This award winning ice cream is produced using local milk and pure natural ingredients. Situated in the foothills of the Welsh Black Mountains, Rowlestone Court has much to offer its visitors including attractive woods where you can enjoy a stroll through a ‘native species garden’ and wild flower meadows. And then there’s the ice cream parlour where you can take your fill of homemade cakes and ice cream of all sorts including whiskey with orange marmalade, rum and raisin and Baileys along with the more traditional, but equally as scrumptious, flavours.
