Eat, drink and celebrate Northamptonshire

Get ready to celebrate the best of local flavours as Northamptonshire Food & Drink Week returns from May 31 to June 8, 2025.

Now in its second year, this week-long celebration is a delicious invitation to discover the people, places and produce that make the county’s food and drink scene so special.

Organised by Made in Northamptonshire and the Northamptonshire Tourism Business Network, and proudly sponsored by Wilson Browne Solicitors, the Food & Drink Week promises a packed schedule of tastings, tours, collaborations, and one-off menus – designed to shine a spotlight on local talent, and inspire support for independent businesses throughout the county.

Whether you’re a seasoned foodie, or just looking for a great day out, the week offers something for everyone.
Highlights include the much-anticipated Delapré Food Festival (7–8 June), a two-day extravaganza set against the historic backdrop of Delapré Abbey. Expect street food, artisan producers, guest chefs, family fun and a relaxed atmosphere where you can eat, drink and soak it all up.

Over in Earls Barton, Jeyes commemorates the Great Fire of Northampton with a special “Fiery Mustard Menu”, while The Four Pears in Little Houghton presents a Northamptonshire Heroes Tasting Menu curated by acclaimed chef James Peck.

Wharf Distillery in Towcester will host not one, but two standout events: a lively Cocktail Night in partnership with expert mixologists Sip ‘n’ Swig, and an exclusive Founder’s Tour & Tasting, where guests can sample artisan gin, whisky and brandy and learn about the distillation process directly from founder Laurence Conisbee.

Beer lovers won’t want to miss Phipps Brewery, pairing their popular ales with specially prepared meat and cheese platters from Northampton Cheese Co and Northampton Charcuterie Co, priced at just £8.50 for the week.

Looking for something more laid-back? Stoneyfield Vineyard will open its doors for self-guided and hosted tours, tastings, and a chance to sip wine in their stunning garden overlooking the vines – well behaved dogs welcome!

There’s excitement too with new restaurant openings, including The Fat Crab & Cocktails at the Red Lion in Cranford, bringing fresh seafood to the county’s dining scene.

With events popping up in pubs, cafés, distilleries, restaurants and markets, Northamptonshire Food & Drink Week 2025 is a fantastic opportunity to support local, eat well, and explore the county’s fast-growing reputation as a food and drink destination.
