Home to some of the finest establishments in the country, not to mention the cutest traditional country pubs, and boasting a fantastic array of fresh produce and local products, Gloucestershire is a mecca for foodies. To get your culinary juices flowing, there are a number of superb local farm shops you should add to your list.
Particularly popular, the multi-award-winning Stroud Farmers’ Market takes place every Saturday and attracts throngs of newbies and regulars, while Wotton Farm Shop in Wotton-under-Edge and William's Food Hall & Oyster Bar in Stroud are great to pop in and out of during the week for everything from Double Gloucester cheese to locally-sourced fish.
If you have a taste for gastro fare served in style, the critically-acclaimed Champignon Sauvage in Cheltenham receives glowing praise, as does 5 North Street in Winchcombe, Lords of the Manor Restaurant in Upper Slaughter and the Wild Rabbit in Kingham.
