Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.

Our local larder.

Sitting in the centre of the south coast, the stunning county of Hampshire and its Solent neighbour, the Isle of Wight, are protected from the wintry blasts of the east coast, and the wet and winds of the west. This temperate climate, rich soils and its location just a hop away from the capital has ensured its position as a leading UK food and drink destination. 

They’re perfect for anyone passionate about food and drink, with fantastic local produce harvested from both coast and countryside, a host of food festivals held throughout the year and some of the biggest farmers markets in Europe.
