Eating In

The Ultimate Guide to Eating in: Discover The Taste of Local Food.

Eating in during your holiday doesn’t have to be a mundane experience. In fact, it’s the perfect opportunity to explore the delightful, traditional food shops and markets that our region has to offer.

Experience the joy of shopping at “proper” shops, and savour the unique and authentic flavours of the local cuisine.

Savour Quality Meat from Local Butchers

Treat yourself to high-quality meat from our exceptional local butchers. The closest Sprinks Farm Shop in Ipstones offers a wide range of products and convenient delivery options, including “Brunch boxes” and groceries. Check their Facebook page for updates, and look forward to their website soon! Other fantastic, locally-run butchers can be found in Cheadle and Leek.
