The south coast county of Hampshire, and its Solent neighbour, the Isle of Wight, have become inspirational food and drink destinations. Our local larders are rich and diverse, featuring produce from coast and country, downland, moorland and forest.

Our local producers, chefs and bakers then magically transform that produce into some of the best food and drink the British Isles has to offer.

Explore our website to discover the food, drink and artisan talent of our region.

Cracker of a Christmas

This is your chance to win a wheelbarrow full of Hampshire drinks

Hampshire has some incredible drinks producers across the county – from apple juice, beer and coffee to tea, vodka, wine and water – we really are spoilt in the beverage department. We’ve even got Mead producers – arguably the oldest alcoholic drink in the world, dating back to at least 7000BC!

Our Christmas Cracker this week absolutely showcases our incredible drinks producers, and you are in for a chance to win prizes from OHCO Coffee, Black Chalk Winery, Blackmoor Estate Cider, Bowman Ales, Hogmoor Distillery, IOW Tomatoes, Jonah’s Mead, New Forest Spring Water, The Grange Wine, Isle of Wight Whisky, Yarty Cordials, New Forest Tea Company.

Thank you to Sunnyfields for loaning us the wheelbarrow for the photoshoot!

Features

A seasonal larder is an exciting thing, ringing the changes from the comfort food and roaring fires of winter into the freshness of spring, and the food that reflects the heat of summer and the golden months of a cosy autumn. See below or take a look at all our features.
