A WALKING tour to showcase a feast of culinary treats has reached a milestone.

Taste Knutsford has celebrated its third birthday.

Guests have strolled round the town sampling a variety of foods from brunch, nibbles, ice creams, and sorbet, tapas through to afternoon tea, cheese, and gin.

The tour lasts approximately three hours and the 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 visitors.

"The guests really love meeting the owners and finding out more about the establishment and Knutsford than you would on a normal visit."

Tours were suspended during 2020 due to the pandemic but are now back on track.

Sandra added: "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."

Alison Cunliffe, of The Real Fruit Creamery, said:“We love taking part in these tours. It is a great way to meet people and for people to ask questions, find out about the business and raise awareness."

Vincent Lazzarini, director of The Cheese Yard said: “The Taste Knutsford tours are a great opportunity for me to showcase my independent business.
