Rutland Food and Drink Week returns
Business across the county will host events from 25 - 31 October
Last updated 24th Oct 2021
Rutland would not be known as the “County of Good Taste” without its week-long celebration of food and fare from local producers and eateries.
From 25 – 31 October, Discover Rutland has worked with its members to create an events programme which includes product sampling, beer festivals, pumpkin picking, offers and special menus.
Rutland Food and Drink Week has been in the county’s calendar over the last few years and ends with the Discover Rutland Ball on 31 October to celebrate the end of the high tourist season.
James Torbell, Event Coordinator for Discover Rutland and Director of Beaver Inns which runs The Vaults, Don Paddy’s and The Falcon Hotel in Uppingham has worked with Discover Rutland members on this year’s programme.
He said: “This year is especially important for our local businesses because it has been such a turbulent one. Starting with a full lockdown and then one of the busiest summers on record, it has been all or nothing and we’re looking forward to having the chance to showcase the best of Rutland’s food and drink once again with producers, cafes and restaurants across the county.”
In previous years, special menus created by some of the best chefs in the county have celebrated local produce, game and Rutland’s agricultural heritage.
James added: “We’re busy creating some incredible exclusive menus, offers and events for this year’s Food and Drink Week and if locals and tourists would like to be the first to know what’s on the menu, we’d encourage them to sign up to our Discover Rutland newsletter as that will be the first place we release information.”
