Food and Drink

Calderdale offers something to tickle every tastebud. From cafe culture and pre theatre dinners in Halifax to home made fayre along the Upper Calder Valley. Sowerby Bridge is shaping a new style, with the canal wharf a buzzy eats and drinks venue with a choice of restaurants from around the world. Sample the cuisine at the Michelin rated gastro pub The Millbank in Ripponden.
For an organic feel, enjoy the delights of the Bear Cafe in Todmorden. Organic before organic was trendy, you can wile away the hours over a warm drink and a good read. Incredible Edible Todmorden sees fruit and vegetables springing up everywhere, as public flower beds are transformed into community herb gardens and vegetable patches. Enjoy watching the world go by with riverside drinks at the Watergate Tea Rooms, Coffee Cali or Innovation Cafe in Hebden Bridge.
	Food and fayre can be purchased totally locally in Calderdale, at local shops, markets and the specialist farmers markets that take place throughout the year.  From Calderdale Cheese from Heaps Dairy  or Pextenement Cheese Company, to locally produced beer from the award winning Little Valley Brewery, or Bare Arts Brewery; sample the delights of local produce, or visit one of the districts farm shops - Moat Hall, Ingfield Farm and Far Barsey Farm Shops, to stock up the larder.
