Fact. Good food makes life taste better.
Good local food makes life taste great.
So if you don’t already know about the
food and drink being produced right here
in the county borough, it’s time you did.

Robert Didier is a man who knows his way
around the kitchen. He trained under the
legendary Raymond Blanc and tickled the
taste-buds of actor Sean Connery. Aka
James Bond.
So when Robert moved to North Wales in
2003 to set up a business making handmade
pastries, he knew what he was
doing.
And his trademark Tractor Wheel Pie is
becoming rather famous round these
parts.
In fact, there are stacks of very talented
people producing all sorts of wonderful
food and drink in Wrexham. The kind of
food that just makes you smile.
There’s the creamiest ice-cream made
by Richard on his Erbistock Farm. The
tantalising syrups and sauces made by
Guy and his family at their 16 th Century
home in Bettisfield – all made from the
blueberries he grows. And award-winning
bangers made by Mark at his farm in Eyton.
There are brewers, cheese-makers, vegetable
growers, honey-makers, hand-crafted jelly
producers, free-range egg farmers, chocolate
truffle-makers. The list goes on.
We even have a tea trader called Kim,
who sells a special blend of ‘Wrexham tea’
from her shop on High Street in the town
centre (called ‘Just Tea and Coffee’, which
makes perfect sense).
The point is, we think local food tastes
best. Which is why we’ve produced a
handy little online food directory to help
you find out what you can buy. And
where you can buy it.
Tuck in.
