I love the food from the Great North Pies Co, and as I said in the tagline ‘if they didn’t use the word ‘Great’ then I would have done anyway!’. I have met up with them on two occasions now both times in Bakewell You can read about those trips here at the Farmer’s…

Staffordshire Savoury Eggs
I have managed to get my hands on the Scotch Eggs from the Staffordshire Savoury Eggs company on just two occasions, both times in Bakewell at the monthly Farmers Market and at the Bakewell Food Festival. I wish I could sample their delightful wares more often but the circuit that they follow is just on…
A trip to the Bakewell Farmers Market
The Bakewell Farmers market is held on the last Saturday of the month and it is an event that is well worth putting in the diary. I have been here three times now since I returned from the states and I am already starting to have a list of favorite vendors and must buy…
Bryer’s Delicatessen and Coffee House – for Great Sandwiches
Bryer’s Delicatessen and Coffee House in East Leake is actually in the Nottinghamshire Region of the Food Hunt, don’t be fooled as I was initially by the Leicestershire postcode Bryer’s is relatively new to the sandwich scene having been here since September 2012 and it has sprung into action offering a lovely little deli offering meats, cheeses,…
How a day trip to Lincoln ends up with a right Dog’s Dinner of meal!
Some time between 10.15am when we got on the train at Nottingham to Lincoln, and 17.12pm when we got on the train to return, it all went pear-shaped and it ended up being a right Dog’s Dinner. What am I talking about? Well it transpired that the Varsity Pub in Lincoln has a dish served…
Chestnut Meats – “The Goat Meat Specialists” – I am thinking must be time for … “Goat Curry!”

Bakewell Food Festival 2013 – MyFoodHunt highlights
This last weekend I travelled slightly out of town to our neighbouring county of Derbyshire to visit the Bakewell Food Festival 2013. There was a lot of good food and produce on offer, almost too much to retell. So in the spirit of randomness I thought I would post my own highlights or random awards…
Hartland Pies – “Who ate all the pies? It might have been me”
Hartland Pies are one of the local pies that I am happy to hunt out whenever I have a chance. I have found them on local farmers markets, in the excellent Delilah deli, and also in the much vaunted craft beer haven Brew Dog. I love their logo (above) which I found on their website and I…
Matlock Bath – Promenade and Fish and Chips
Over many bank holiday weekends we have driven through Matlock Bath and seen the hoards of bikers parked up outside one or more of its many Fish and Chip shops. I have often been tempted to stop and join in, but there has never been anywhere to park. So this last Easter weekend we decided to follow…
The Tarboush – Middle Eastern cafe and resturant
It was pouring it down with rain and was damn cold and miserable, so what better than to head for a taste of the exotic sunshine at a Middle Eastern Cafe. Despite the darkening conditions, the Tarboush Cafe stands out on Market Street in Loughborough with its warm Persian colours and frontage. It was really…
