Crediton is a great place for food. Whether you want to eat out,
buy food to cook yourself or buy ready-made products from local
sources, you can find what you want right here. The town has a rural
hinterland and although farming has changed dramatically since the
last Crediton cattle market was held nearly fifty years ago, there
are still many farms and smallholdings producing quality food which
is available in local shops, village stores and markets.
The Farmers market
The award-winning Farmers’ Market is held on the first Saturday
of each month in the Town Square from 10 am to 1 pm. Forty local
food and craft producers offer a wide selection of meat, fish, cheeses,
preserves, drinks, vegetables and seasonal fruit. You  can
also buy eggs, bread, cakes, pies and pastries, a variety of olives,
Mediterranean delicacies and garden plants. Freshly made drinks
and snacks will keep you going while you shop and there are plenty
of places to sit and eat or simply to watch the world go by. See
page 39 for Farmers’ Market contact details.
Local food sources
Many of the town’s cafes, restaurants and food shops source
their supplies and ingredients locally. To find out which they are
and for further details about them, go to www.creditonlocalproduce.co.uk.
This website, which is run by the Food and Farming group of Sustainable
Crediton, will also give you information about growing your own
food, recipes, events, special offers and much more.
