Hello, I'm Rachel

I've spent much of my career developing food experiences for some of the UK's most iconic heritage venues, working as a commercial food buyer and speaking at industry events along the way.

These days, my passion lies much closer to home. I love uncovering local history, championing independent food businesses, and sharing the stories behind the places we often walk past every day.

I call Saffron Walden home, but I also love the vibrancy and multiculturalism of Bishop's Stortford, it's fantastic food scene, and how easily accessible it is from London and Stansted Airport.

Through Hello Food Tours, I get to bring together my love of food, history, and local storytelling—and share it with curious visitors and locals alike.

We are lucky enough to have the most incredible fruit & veg stall on Tuesdays and Saturdays in Saffron Walden market and its bursting with the very best of the early summer season.

Buying in season isn't just about eating well. It's about fresher produce, better flavour, and ingredients that truly shine on your plate.

So next time you're planning your weekly shop, take a wander around the market and let the summer season inspire what's for dinner and dessert!

"I've lived here for years and never been there." It's one of my favourite things to hear.

Many tour guests arrive thinking they already know their home town inside out. Yet time and again, they leave having discovered businesses, hidden gems, stories, and delicious food and drink experiences they'd never encountered before.

Whether you're a first-time visitor or a lifelong local, there's always something new waiting to be discovered around the corner. So, why not join us for a tour?

A huge thank you to everyone who has taken the time to leave such kind reviews.

It's National Fish & Chips Day!

We're incredibly lucky across Saffron Walden and Bishop's Stortford to have passionate independent fishmongers and fish & chip shops at the heart of our communities.

Our local fishmongers are experts who understand sourcing, seasonality, sustainability, and quality. Behind every one of our local fish & chip shops is a team dedicated to quality and keeping one of Britain's best-loved food traditions alive.

Today is a celebration of one of Britain's most iconic dishes, and with Mackerel, Pollack, and Sea Trout all coming into season, there's never been a better time to visit your local fishmonger and ask them to prepare something fresh for the weekend.

Consider supporting the local businesses that have earned their place at the heart of our food culture; .crystalwatersltd

So, will it be homemade fish & chips this weekend or a trip to the chippy? Either way, tell them we sent you!
