Tasty Purbeck
Locally farmed meat, fish fresh from the sea, artisan breads and kitchen garden fruit & veg. Purbeck fare is nothing short of mouth watering.
Talented chefs, bakers and farmers have put Dorset well and truly on the culinary map. Sumptuous picnics can be packed and BBQs stacked with fresh local produce from urban farm shops, butchers, fishmongers, markets and food festivals.
Dorset is home to the Naga, the world’s hottest chilli pepper and of course the Dorset Knob! And a wedge of Dorset Blue Vinney cheese is perfect with a glug or two of local cider, wine or real ale. Purbeck in particular is known for its rich venison, Chococo chocolate and delicious Purbeck Ice Cream, passionately produced with farm fresh milk and thick double cream.
