Hosted by local chef and owner of The Crafty Fox, Paul Fox, and travelling on a heritage open top bus courtesy of the Town and District Transport Trust based in Great Harwood, the food tour of Hyndburn started at The Globe Centre in Accrington town centre and visited three cafes and restaurants in the town.

Murray Dawson, Chair of #AmazingAccrington, said: “It has been wonderful to get a group of people together and showcase to them how many fantastic food outlets we have here in Hyndburn.

“We can’t thank the participating outlets enough for their generosity and their unbelievable food!”

Stuart Nevison, Chairman of Globe Enterprises Ltd, said: “We have had a fantastic afternoon at many eclectic and fabulous eating places in Hyndburn. Who knew there was so many boltholes for anybody to spend so much time at. I need to get out more.

“What has also been so fantastic is that so many different business people have been able to meet on the bus and have a great networking event.

“It has been great and the weather has held, which isn’t very common for our town, but we’ve had a great time, thank you #AmazingAccrington.”

Charlotte Scheffman, Dean of Higher Education at the Nelson and Colne College Group, commented: “We have been round lots of food outlets, which we rate very highly in our area and I know now where I’m going out for a meal next.

“It has just been fantastic,” she added.
