Our Foodie Tours are a chance to slow things down and eat well. We team up with the people who make Lancashire taste the way it should, from small producers to proper artisans, and spend the day meeting them, tasting their work and enjoying a few very good things along the way. It’s relaxed, well paced and rooted in local know-how.
The people behind the day
Guided by Good Judgement
Katie leads the day and knows our corner of Lancashire inside out: the makers worth meeting, the stops worth taking, and the quiet details that make it all work.
Back at The Cartford, Head Chef Chris Bury joins you for a short, unfussy run-through of his latest menus.

Meeting the Makers
Lancashire is packed with seriously talented producers, the kind of people who do one thing properly and don’t make a fuss about it.
You’ll meet some of the region’s best cheesemakers, bakers, brewers and distillers, tasting as you go, hearing how it’s made and picking up a few good stories.
Back at The Cartford
Stay, Dine and Unwind
Return to The Cartford for a specially curated two-course dinner celebrating the best local ingredients.
Spend the night in one of our characterful rooms, then wake up to a hearty Lancashire breakfast. A proper finish to a well-fed trip.
