The pretty little seaside village with hardly any tourists and UK's 'best food'
Emsworth in Hampshire, just 10 minutes away from Portsmouth by train, has been praised by Visit England as having "some of the country's best food".
A beautiful southern seaside village hardly ever visited by tourists has been credited with having the UK's "best food".
Emsworth in Hampshire, just 10 minutes away from Portsmouth by train has been praised by Visit England as having "some of the country's best food" with a particular leaning towards seafood such as oysters.
The location itself is a picturesque fishing village with millponds, Georgian houses and a pretty little quayside with a long history dating back to the Middle Ages.
Back in those days, Emsworth was a busy port, importing wine for the noble classes, before later turning its hand to using tidal power to grind flour and becoming known for its oyster beds and brewing.
But modern-day Emsworth is more known for its delicious dishes, being labelled a "foodie heaven" by Visit England.
One of the village's top restaurants is the Michelin-starred 36 on the Quay, which offers a wide array of meals and a fine dining experience, with dishes including duck breast, fish of the day and steaks.
Elsewhere, those looking for a good Indian are well served by Darbar Restaurant, while the Blue Bell offers a great selection of pub food.
Food lovers can also stock up at the monthly farmers’ market or during Emsworth British Food Fortnight which runs from September 19 to October 4.

Once all the eating is done, visitors can walk off lunch or dinner with a stroll around the village's quayside or a walk to Chichester Harbour.
Away from food, the village also has its own museum which calls itself "the gem of Emsworth" and features a number of nautical exhibits and other displays relating to the area.
Those wishing to visit Emsworth for themselves can take the train from London Victoria Station which takes just over an hour and a half, with tourists able to stay in the Hollybank House bed and breakfast for £120 per night during May.
