It is now official Lincolnsh
ire is the best county in the UK for food! We have know it for a long time but now we have national recognition and are very very proud! Announced this morning after several month of voting on the Love British Food website, to help raise awareness of British Food Fortnight 17 September to 2 October 2011
The selection of food that Lincolnshire produces is so vast and varied that we must be one of the only counties to have a finger in nearly every pie. We grow fabulous vegetables, wheat for milling, barley for beer, oil seed rape for cooking oil. We make cheese’s, we make wines, we rear exelent beef pork and lamb, we make chocolate, we land fish, to name but a few!
So it is a very well justified win and will hopefully bring the attention that we deserve, we are often a county that is forgotten as we aren’t on the way to anywhere, unless you are going to the north sea! But we have so much to offer. People often think that Lincolnshire is a flat county, but they couldn’t be further form the truth, the Wolds offer stunning scenery of rolling hills, chalk streams and lush green woods, our coastline has beautiful clean sandy beaches and we have lovely quaint little market towns like Louth with is bustling high streets full of independent food shops!
It well worth a trip to Lincolnshire to find out for yourself, we are easy to get to, just turn off the A1 at Newark or catch the train, Lincoln Central now has a direct link to London’s Kings Cross!
