This walk is now over but we have left the walk info below in case you wish to replicate it yourself.
The original walk happened on: Thursday 19th July 5.30 – 7.30pm
This was an easy, short walk around Grays to encounter the delicious variety of world food available, including English, Chinese, Indian, African and Bulgarian, ending at Thameside Theatre cafe for a sit down chat over Chinese and Bulgarian snacks where there were complimentary fresh filo pastry ‘banattas’ filled with cheese & egg, and also pork & chicken kebabs in Bulgarian spices!
We visited R. Mumford and Son fish restaurant that’s been serving for over 100 years, Tasty Africa, Spice of India, Laredos Suya Grill, New Delhi Indian Restaurant, China Phoenix and ending at the Thameside Theatre coffee shop. We heard all about their cuisine and there were tasty samples to try! The walkers were also be given an introduction to some of the foods in the World food aisle at Morrisons as well as a free tasting.
Huge thanks to all the business owners and staff of the places we visited, and to local artist Hi Ching who led this walk. Thanks also to Mark Allinson who added an extra dimension by introducing the walkers to some of the artworks in the town centre.
