Norfolk's Finest

When great food and drink is talked about in Britain the wonderful diversity that Norfolk offers seems to regularly be overlooked. Maybe that’s because we haven’t shouted loudly enough about the huge variety that can be found or the strong tradition of good produce tied closely to the landscape. It has a character of its own.

Wide open skies, dipping hills, sea breezes and mud flats. Honesty boxes dotted around, a few eggs here, some homemade jam there. They all contribute to the food culture from crabs, samphire, Stiffkey blues and mussels to asparagus, potatoes, orchards and grain to make beers. There is beef and pigs and cheeses. The Norfolk Black turkey might be well known but it’s not the only thing we should be talking about.

The Norfolk Diet started from this very idea of diversity when one local producer decided to eat only Norfolk produce for one month. The idea grew into a small group of like-minded people who wanted to see Norfolk food and drink be celebrated across the county and across Britain.

There are amazing producers and fantastic produce and our aim is to bring these together at events like our Spring Farmer’s Market in Norwich on 14 May and promote them on social media and in the press.
