The Hampshire Fare Local Produce Guide includes the best of the region’s food and drink businesses, from chocolatiers, beekeepers, bakeries and breweries to farm shops, pubs, vineyards, and farmer’s markets.

Natasha Dochniak of Hampshire Fare said: “Hampshire and the Isle of Wight have become leaders in the food and drink scene in the British Isles over the last decade. 

“Our two counties, sat on the south coast, have temperate climates with diverse growing conditions and varied landscapes – coast, countryside, chalk rivers, rolling downlands, heaths and ancient forests.

"That means our local larder is rich – we have fabulous natural seasonal produce that the region is renowned for."
