THE EXPERIENCE THAT LETS YOU BE A TOURIST IN YOUR OWN CITY!

Since 2018, locals and visitors to the city have been enjoying The Taste of Chester Food Walking Tour

Founded by Gareth Boyd (a local business man and keen foodie), the tour allow guests to enjoy food/drink at 5 different independent ‘off the beaten track’ venues and lean more about Chester.

“About 15 years ago when visiting NYC on a family holiday, I booked a Food Tour in Greenwich Village and I was hooked! Tasting new and stunning foods that I might not have been brave enough to try was exciting! It’s the perfect experience for any foodie. Since, this NYC tour, I’ve enjoyed many more across the globe. I always recommend joining a food tour at the start of your city break, because then you’ll have more time to go back and enjoy the venues that your tour guide has showcased”.

“It’s a privilege to be able to showcase Chester and its many fabulous independent food and drink venues’ says Gareth. ‘Guests should definitely arrive hungry as there is plenty of food to enjoy! It’s also a mystery tour experience with venues being revealed one by one during the tour. It’s a great job for me, having to taste amazing food across the city to ensure my guests have the best experience!”

Group sizes vary from 2 -12, and private tours (even larger groups) can be arranged for various occasions such as birthday celebrations, get togethers, team building etc. The tour lasts approx 3-5-4 hours with easy paced walking (c2 miles). It’s perfect for any ages, even families with young children (Gareth offers The Family Foodie Tour) Dietary requirements and allergies are catered for.

Chester’s food and drink scene is in such a rich vein of form currently and there is a diverse melting pot of food from all around the world to sample and enjoy. During the Taste of Chester Food Tour, guests enjoy a range of savoury foods and there is normally at least 1 sweet course.

But it’s not just about the food and drink. During the tour, guests are treated to cultural insight and history about historic Chester. “When I first started the tours, I was concerned that my local guests would know everything about their city but the truth is that we don’t - often, we don’t look up and around, or stop to take in landmarks etc”

The Taste of Chester Food Tour is multi-award winning and was recently awarded Experience of The Year, at the Marketing Cheshire Awards. Guest feedback is continually 5* and providing fantastic 1st class guest experience is a core mission/value.
