The historic town food tour with a celebrity gin bar and famous old courtroom
With a plethora of independent cafes, restaurants and bars housed in an array of quirky historic buildings, Knutsford in Cheshire is a town with a lot to entice foodies in. And now a dedicated Taste Knutsford food tour has been launched which helps visitors pack in to seven or eight such establishments all in one day.
We headed to test out one of the Taste Knutsford tours, which take around three hours in small groups of around 12 people. They select around seven to eight places to stop from a stable of 18 local businesses that rotate on the tour. The restaurant itself is in the former courtroom - with grand domed ceilings and the original wooden docks still in place. But it's just had a modern refurbishment complete with a rather apt flashing neon sign saying: "If these walls could talk".
From here we stroll down one of the cobbled back alleys connecting the top and bottom streets to head to Morgan Edwards for some wine-tasting. The shops can be found in an extraordinary building dating back to 1580 - the second oldest in Knutsford. Morgan said: "As soon as we saw the building we thought it suits our style. If we think about where we started in the market to where we are now it's been a lot of hard work and perseverance, but also a great community here in Knutsford."
We head on to Dexter and Jones on Princess Street, where GMB presenter Katy Rickitt welcomes us in to tell the story of how she and actor husband Adam came to become bar owners in Knutsford. She said: "Lockdown in many ways was a very happy time for us, we were able to operate as an off licence, and we did home deliveries as well. I was doing 50 a day at one point, but it was a really nice vibe."
