Leicester & Leicestershire are home to an exciting range of culinary delights, from atmospheric coffee shops and award-winning restaurants to independent bars, traditional real ale pubs and buzzing street food venues.

The region is famous for its food and drink offer. The city is a former UK Curry Capital and curry-lovers will be spoilt for choice with a variety of restaurants serving dishes from across the Indian sub-continent.

Cheese lovers will also be delighted with the city and county’s expertise. Red Leicester was first produced in the county in the 17th century, its deep hue denoting the high quality of the cheese. We don’t just see red when it comes to cheeses, but blue too. With its protected designation of origin status, Stilton – the King of English cheeses – is also produced within the county limits, and what better way to complete your picnic than with another protected foodie favourite: a Melton Mowbray Pork Pie.
