From fine dining to food from the streets of Tokyo, Worcestershire is home to several premium dining destinations.

Tourism group Visit Worcestershire also went as far as to say the county is championing the field to folk message with restaurants utilising local produce.

The county's tourism centre has compiled its own list of the top ten unmissable foodie experiences, which should be on visitors' itineraries and locals' must-try lists.
