The campaign, called Harrogate Food and Drink, will promote the culinary depth and diversity of the district, as well as planning the inaugural Harrogate Food and Drink Festival this November.

It has linked up with the regional food group, Deliciously Yorkshire, and has pledged to help promote and celebrate examples of food and drink excellence in the region both at home and further afield.

Co-ordinator Martin Wilks said: “There is plenty of enthusiasm for the Harrogate Food and Drink concept across the area and we want to be sure it’s open to all.”

He added: “We hope both the festival and the Harrogate Food and Drink concept will become valuable tools which can be used to promote businesses and the Harrogate area which should be proud to have so much to offer when it comes to first-class food and drink.”

The team behind the campaign is now offering a £65 small business membership option for cafes, pubs and small retailers.
