Nine Shropshire food specialists are tasting success today after being named in a new guide to the best of eating in and out in Britain.

Eating British, put together by the Guild of Fine Food Retailers, features 600 establishments across the country from restaurants and delicatessens to food halls and farm shops. Among the leading lights are the White House Restaurant near Church Stretton, Appleyards and Renaissance in Shrewsbury.

Other outlets include places in Cleobury Mortimer, Wem & Ludlow.

The White House was described as cosy while Appleyards was recommended for its own homecured bacon.

Renaissance’s historic building won praise in the guide together with its freshly prepared menu which includes Appleyards bacon.

Specialists

Written by Andrew Eliel, former editor of the Egon Ronay guide, Eating British is divided into easy-to-use sections featuring specialists who source and sell local produce.

Opening hours, addresses, telephone numbers & tourist attractions nearby are all included.

“With the growing interest in regional food and menu traceability there has been a real movement amongst customers towards regional produce,” said Bob Farrand, director of the Guild of Fine Food Retailers.

“Eating British is an invaluable guide for all real food enthusiasts as well as tourists looking to experience the delights of British regional food and drink.”

“We are delighted that Shropshire is featured within the guide.”

The guide is available from selected Guild of Fine Food Retailer member’s stores and Tourist Board outlets at £ 9.99.
