You will be blown away by some of the finest truffles around. You will be spoilt for choice as you pick some of your own delights to indulge in.
Explore the exciting indoor food market with delightful smells overwhelming as you walk around. When you return, a treat is in store as you try one of the popular Indian dishes around! Your personal guide will take you to an Indian savory store where you will get to try a favorite Indian snack popular within the Asian community.
If you are lucky enough you will witness some street artists in action! The tour will then take you down the narrow-cobbled streets to a historic pub where you will get a chance to sit and try some refreshing Truman's Ale.
Want to try some of the best Fish and Chips in the East end? - Poppies is the next stop - selling fresh fish and triple cooked chips wrapped in paper printed newspaper - the old-fashioned way!
