Award-winning producers across the Isle of Man keep things local by using the island’s bountiful supply of ingredients in their recipes, says Holly Kirkwood
Pippa Lovell loves to forage for wild herbs to use in her restaurant, Versa, in Port Erin, where ingredients are sourced from within 25 miles
VISITING the Isle of Man can feel like stepping into a time warp because of the gentle pace of local life—but assuming it is a backwards sort of place would be a big mistake, especially when it comes to food. A new generation of artisan producers is leading the way in progressive thinking, building on the island’s strong agricultural heritage to create a vibrant foodie scene based around cooperation and sustainability and winning a slew of Great Taste Awards in the process.
