The baking story of Worcester
Worcester's name travels the world on every bottle of Worcestershire sauce, the dark, tangy condiment first sold in the city in the 19th century. But the county's real wealth is its fruit. Worcestershire is famous for pears — three black pears appear on the county's coat of arms — and for the plums and asparagus of the Vale of Evesham, celebrated each season around Pershore and Evesham. The Worcester Pearmain apple was introduced here in the 19th century. Fruit pies, plum crumbles and pear tarts are natural bakery choices. The cathedral city, on the banks of the Severn, also has a long porcelain heritage and a historic Friar Street lined with timber-framed buildings.
Local bakes to look out for
- Plum crumble – Vale of Evesham plums baked under a buttery crumble.
- Pear and almond tart – A frangipane tart topped with Worcestershire pears.
Bakery hunter's tip: Walk Friar Street and New Street for historic buildings and independent cafés, and visit in late summer for Vale of Evesham plums.
Did you know? Worcestershire sauce was first sold in Worcester in 1837 by two local chemists.
