A Taste of Durham

A Taste of Durham

Good food is an essential ingredient for any day out or holiday and groups will certainly not go hungry in Durham.

• Experience ‘plot to plate’ in action at The Auckland Project. Fruit and vegetables from the restored 17th century walled garden are served in The Bishop’s Kitchen, El Castillo tapas restaurant and Park Head Hotel. 
•  Discover the flavours of yesteryear at Beamish Museum. From fish and chips cooked in beef dripping to moreish treats from the Edwardian bakery and 1900s sweet shop, you will be spoilt for choice. 
• Learn how people prepared food many centuries ago at Raby Castle, which boasts a magnificent medieval kitchen with handwritten recipes on display. 
•  Tuck into an indulgent afternoon tea at the elegant Café Bowes inside The Bowes Museum, or within the medieval setting of Durham Cathedral at The Undercroft Restaurant
•  Get a real taste of Durham with a guided foodie tour around historic Durham City with Triple A Food Tours. From the indoor market to top restaurants, it’s a great way to enjoy freshly made local produce.
