Description

We have a packed issue for you. Lincolnshire has long been known as one of the most important food counties of the UK and our features give a wide cross-section of the quality and variety of produce which you can enjoy here.

Artisan businesses abound from the bakers at The Chef’s Pantry, to Oink’s delicious pork scratchings. If you are visiting the county, there are tempting treats to try from locally produced cheeses and fresh fruit and vegetables from the fields, to beers and craft made gins. We #LoveLocal at Good Taste Lincolnshire and Hayley Toyne of ‘Business.VisitLincolnshire’ shares tips on how to make the best of your local high street and shop greener going forward.

Of course, we have wonderful recipes for you from chef Rachel Green, perfect for Easter and summer dining, and lots of inspirational baking ideas.

We also celebrate the great outdoors with Visit Lincolnshire. Their website is packed with ideas for days out, walks and bird watching in the county.

Exciting new support organisations are coming on stream for the innovative and dynamic food, drink and hospitality sectors. New initiatives, recently launched, will provide knowledge and represent county businesses nationally and internationally. The UK Food Valley based in Spalding features on page 4 while membership organisation Lincolnshire Food and Drink features on Page 22.

Make the most of your spring and summer in Lincolnshire; enjoy warm hospitality, our stunning landscapes and coastline and of course tuck into some of the delicious local treats grown on the doorstep.
