Foodies will love Taste Tripper

Taste Tripper are revolutionary new food and drink guides bringing something extra.

They are from Jennifer Earle, the wonderful lady behind Chocolate Ecstasy Tours, not only do the packs recommend some of the top coffee shops, chocolatiers and craft beer sellers in London, when you visit each location in the guide, you will receive a specially-arranged treat to taste!

This becomes even more exciting when you discover who their partner locations are. The chocolate guide partners include: award winning chocolatier Paul A Young, chocolate institution Charbonnel et Walker and chocolate revolutionaries Mast Brothers. The coffee guide partner locations include: the Fitzrovia's most excellent Kaffeine, enthusiasts’ favourite Prufrock and coffee boundary-pushers Macintyre. The craft beer pack is almost complete and will be launched later this year. (EDITOR: I can't wait!)

It was while growing her tours business that Jennifer realised some of her customers would rather take more time, and experience each location at their own pace, and this is how Taste Tripper came about.

Taste Tripper is as much a guidebook as it is a self-guided walking tour. Each chocolate, coffee or beer guide comes complete with information about each partner venue, as well as a map showing all of their locations. The samples and treats don’t expire so you can do as much or as little of the guide, whenever suits you.

Taste Tripper is excellent value for money and gorgeous to look at. As well as the sample vouchers and map, the guide also includes tasting notes, insider secrets, offers and tips. A pack for one person costs £18 and a pack for two people is £30. The total value of the samples and offers within the pack make it an excellent and inexpensive way to try some of the best food and drink the capital has to offer. They also make the perfect birthday or Christmas present for any foodie in your life.

In the true style of Taste Tripper, the website also offers visitors something extra: a whole section of insider tips from some of the food and drink world’s leading authorities, all for free. Participants include leading restaurateur Russell Norman, Delicious Magazine editor Karen Barnes and series 1 winner of the Great British Bake Off Edd Kimber. Giving visitors to the website suggestions for even more destinations to visit, from some of London’s leading foodies.

Said Jennifer: “I am absolutely delighted to be launching Taste Tripper. Since working within the food tours business I saw a gap in the market for people who didn’t have the time to commit to a full tour but still wanted to visit the best foodie venues in London. I really hope that Taste Tripper fills that gap and allows people the opportunity to experience and sample some of the best tastes London has to offer, at their own pace.”

Taste Tripper is available directly from their website, along with select partner locations. All contact information and social media links are listed below.

(EDITOR: This will make a really good Christmas present for the foodies in your life. Hope my wife is reading this article!)
