As the school holidays kick off, there's never been a better time to explore everything Halton has to offer for food lovers and day-trippers alike. The latest edition of “A Taste of Halton” is out now - and it's packed with flavour, fun, and inspiration for the ultimate summer foodie adventure.

From cool cafés and riverside eats to feel-good food and artisan treats, the updated guide serves up the best of the borough's thriving food and drink scene. Whether you're a local looking to discover hidden gems or a visitor seeking something deliciously different, this year's edition showcases over 40 mouth-watering spots across Runcorn, Widnes, Daresbury, Moore, and Hale Village.

“This guide is about more than just what's on the menu,” says Councillor Laura Bevan, Halton ''If you're like me and my family, and love to seek out something a little different for a foodie treat on days out this guide is your perfect companion.”

This guide feaures more than food, It's about community, creativity, and the people shaping Halton's food culture with heart and soul. We've shone a spotlight on independent cafés, family-run delis, local producers, and welcoming community hubs - many of whom are offering something truly special this summer.

Highlights include:

• Café Culture: Discover where coffee meets culture; from puppuccinos and pastries to canal-side cappuccinos.
• Feel-Good Food: Farm-fresh ice creams, sustainable veg boxes, and foodie destinations that are as kind to the planet as they are to your taste buds.
• Handmade in Halton: Meet the makers behind small-batch hot sauces, honey, teas, and sweet treats.
• A Culinary Journey: Explore Halton's global flavours, from Italian gelato to Thai street food, right on your doorstep.

Whether you're fuelling up before a day at the park, grabbing brunch before a Brindley Theatre show, or indulging in an artisan ice cream by the river, this guide is your essential companion for summer.
