Melton Mowbray Hidden Food Tour

Uncover why Melton Mowbray proudly wears the title of Britain’s Rural Capital of Food with two award-winning, immersive walking tours designed for food lovers.

On the flagship Melton Mowbray Walking Food Tour (£85), an intimate group of just eight guests will embark on a three-hour journey through historic streets, enjoying six curated food and drink pairings. From world-famous Melton Mowbray pork pies and rich Stilton cheese to innovative craft brewers, artisanal smokehouses, and boutique snack makers, you’ll meet the passionate producers shaping the town's culinary heritage and taste the absolute best of local tradition.

Looking for an exclusive behind-the-scenes peek into living history? The brand-new Tuesday Livestock Market & Stockyard Tour (£40) offers a fascinating two-hour dive into market traditions dating back to the Domesday Book and a 1324 charter.

As you witness the energy of live livestock sales in action, you’ll discover how this centuries-old trading hub continues to nourish regional food culture. Along the way, you’ll chat with makers and sample a mouthwatering array of local produce - from peak-district foraged jams and Lincolnshire sausages to authentic homemade Asian curries.

Bring your appetite, pack your curiosity, and get ready to experience Melton Mowbray through the stories and flavours of its legendary producers.
