Anyone who offers an engaging food experience can take part in a food trail. Ideally, the trail should offer a mix of visitor experiences from farm to fork, the key being that participants are ‘visitor ready’ versus ‘product ready’.
Participants can include:
-
restaurants and cafes
-
pubs
-
hotels and B&Bs
-
cookery schools
-
specialist food stores
-
producer visits and tastings
-
farm visits
-
food related visitor attractions
-
food festivals and events
-
breweries and distilleries
-
food activities e.g. ‘taste’, ‘learn to’ or ‘do’ opportunities.
