We’re delighted to introduce Heather, the newest member of our tour guide team here at Walking Food Tours UK. Heather is already making a wonderful impression on our guests as she co-hosts our Taste of Shrewsbury Food Tour — bringing her warm personality, local knowledge, and genuine love for food and people to every step of the experience.
Heather lives just outside Shrewsbury and has called the area home for over twenty years. After a successful career in full-time teaching, she recently made the decision to focus more on family life, her four-legged companions, and spending time outdoors. Whether she’s walking her dogs, tending to her garden (where she grows her own vegetables), or experimenting with new baking recipes in the kitchen, Heather is always embracing the good things in life — making her a perfect fit for our food-loving community.
She’s a big fan of eating out and loves discovering independent eateries — something that shines through on tour. And if you’re wondering about her favourites? Heather’s go-to tipple is a crisp G&T, and she’s always happy when there’s teriyaki salmon on the menu!
We’ve already had some brilliant guest feedback for Heather:
“As it was my cousin’s 60th Birthday in May, my sister and I thought this would be a great way to celebrate and we were right! We had a really fabulous afternoon in Shrewsbury, eating and drinking at various independent eateries around town, all of whom were so very passionate about their businesses and food they served. We had delicious food and equally delicious drinks along the way. Gareth and Heather were just lovely, great company and very knowledgeable about the town, pointing out little details we would have missed without them. We would definitely recommend the tour and we are already planning our next one. Thanks Gareth and Heather we had a great time.”
Heather is looking forward to welcoming more guests to explore the very best of Shrewsbury’s food and drink scene. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, visiting for the weekend, or just fancy a unique day out — join us for a delicious stroll and let Heather show you the town through her eyes (and taste buds!).
