Today it was down to Northampton for a four hour restaurant hunting mission, we had never been there before and what a shock we had when we realised how big the place was.

We spent an hour or so speaking to the locals and it seems alot of them love eating out, I would probably say about 75% of people we spoke to regularly visit restaurants in Northampton and surrounding towns.

Gourmet Ingredient now has over eighty restaurants listed in the Northamptonshire section. This consists of Brackley, Corby, Daventry, Kettering, Northampton, Peterborough, Rushden, Towcester and Wellingborough.

Article taken from Visit Lincolnshire.

“Welcome to a county proud to produce around one-fifth of Britain’s food thanks to the fertile farmland and rich rural landscape of Lincolnshire.  Taste the difference by tucking into the freshest of food.

Get closer to the flavour with a few of the county’s distinctly different tastes, including Lincoln Red beef, stuffed chine, plumbread, Lincolnshire sausages, Lincolnshire Poacher Cheese, fresh Ostrich and a superb selection of vegetables, all combining to offer a mouthwatering choice”

We have listed over one hundred restaurants in Lincoln, Boston, Grantham, Grimsby, Louth, Skegness & Scunthorpe & Stamford today, again, there are still alot more to find.

We are slowly working our way around the country, obviously starting with restaurants in Mansfield as thats where we are from, working our way into Nottingham, Derbyshire and so on….

There are hundreds of restaurants in Leicester and surrounding areas, these are mainly made up of indian restaurants, english restaurants and chinese restaurants. Leicester has a fantastic reputation for its Indian and Italian cuisines. Its definately worth the trip.

We have listed ninety six restaurants but still have many more to find. Check them out for yourself….

After driving around Derbyshire for a whole day, we managed to find one hundred and eighty or more restaurants, took the details for them and added them to the website. There are probably many many more restaurants in Derbyshire but there’s a nice selection for people to look through.

Derbyshire is a lovely place, certainly where food in concerned.

We located about twenty restaurants in Matlock, all of which looked lovely, if only we had the time to eat in them all.

We found just under thirty restaurants in Derby, it took quite a while to get around them all and I think we need to go back as theres alot more that we missed. Derbyshire is full of small villages, ones that people would not know about unless they knew the area or found them on the internet so we took note of various restaurants there too.

Last but not least, was a town not so far from us. Chesterfield. We found over fifty restaurants in Chesterfield, they were scattered all over the place but again, there was a nice choice.

Today we have added 101 restaurants to the site, all of which are based in Nottinghamshire.

So we now have a base to start from.
