Crail is not just a pretty face, it's a town steeped in history.
Once the biggest fish market in Europe and the most productive seaport in the area, Crail has embraced change throughout the centuries, finding new ways to be relevant: adapting, recovering and reinventing.
Food production is what Crail is founded on with generation upon generation going to sea, tending the land and brewing the ale. Today, the Golden Coast is emerging in a new world, and even though the future has changed, Crail is helping to shape it, emerging and thriving in this new marketplace.
Producers have retained a human approach, selling direct from the creels, fields and ovens but at the same time continuing to supply the tastes of the global market.
Producers are busy all around year round, netting prawns, harvesting grains, creating oils, distilling gins, perfecting the fruit and veg, potting crabs and lobster, baking cakes, tending the animals and melting chocolate so that we can all enjoy the wonderful taste that is Crail.
