Mr Pernickety

Our neighbours in Ludlow have received national recognition for their ability to produce and sell mouth-watering food. With a national Food Festival each year, and a small handful of Micheline stars scattered about the town, the tourist information centre can wax lyrical about how lucky its residents are, and how much we are missing out by living in Shrewsbury. But that's the job of any tourist centre, and it isn't in their interest to tell you the whole story. Are we saying that Ludlow doesn't have great food?

Pick up a guide from Mr Pernickety.


Shrewsbury Cafe Culture

Dr Maxwell Winchester, councillor for Quarry and Coton Hill, Shrewsbury, has put forward the proposal that would help speed up plans to create a European style cafe culture right here in Shrewsbury. A move we at eatShrewsbury believe is long overdue. By creating more outdoor seating areas for cafes and restaurants, the hope is to bring more people into the centre of the town which in turn will help reduce the anti-social behaviour that causes problems for the centre of Shrewsbury in the evenings. By giving people the opportunity to eat as well as drink, we can make our town centre family friendly at night as well as give a much needed revenue boost to our cafes and restaurants. Wouldn't it be nice to spend a warm spring evening sitting in the square at St Alkmunds with a fresh pasta dish from La Lanterna, or in the Market Square late on a summer night with a plate of fresh sea food and a glass of white wine from Loch Fyne. If the council do the sensible thing and pave the way for these developments, it will surely act as a catalyst, attracting more restaurants and food bars to the area.


Becoming Accountable

Back in September we said Shropshire should follow Telford and Wrekin's example and introduce the national Scores on the Doors scheme, where health inspections share their findings with the rest of us. Well it now appears that we don't have much longer to wait, with a public food hygiene rating system due to be adopted in Shropshire in June 2010.

Organic Box Schemes

Anyone who 'grows their own' vegetables know how much better they taste than those you buy from the supermarket. But with allotment space at a premium and not everyone fortunate enough to have a large garden, getting your hands on good quality organic vegetables may seem a difficult proposition. That is where your local box scheme can help. A lot of people seem to have the misconception that vegetable box schemes are expensive. If you are used to paying supermarket prices, you will be pleasantly surprised.

Get fantastic fresh Shropshire produce delivered straight to your door. Here is a round up of the best fruit, vegetable, meat and fish box schemes the county has to offer.

Shrewsbury Market Hall

The Market Hall at Shrewsbury is a fantastic place to buy your fresh fruit, vegetables and meat from local producers. Shrewsbury has been a thriving market town for centuries, with the original market taking place below the Old Market Hall. By 1965 the market had moved to its present location in the new Market Hall and operated as a pannier market until 2003 when it was modernised to create more space. The market stall holders are a friendly and knowledgeable bunch and between them offer some of the best locally produced Shropshire food. If you live or work in town, why not make the market part of your weekly routine. Opens most days of the week.
