Tamworth town centre offers a mix of the popular chain restaurants and pubs you'd find in most British towns, alongside independent bistros and bars. If you're self-catering in Tamworth, then the thrice-weekly market, held unsurprisingly on Market Street, is the perfect place to stock up on provisions. There are also several town-centre supermarkets which are open from early in the morning to late at night.
If you'd prefer to let someone else do the cooking, then this part of England is famous for its curry culture. New arrivals from the Indian subcontinent in the 1960s brought their cuisine with them, and now dishes like Chicken Tikka Masala often top the list of Britain's favourite dishes. Try the Royal Bengal in Lichfield Street, which specialises in seafood.
Soak up the traditional pub atmosphere at the Wigginton, a Tamworth pub famous for its no-nonsense pub grub and welcoming atmosphere. The menu has all the classics like steak, burgers, scampi or all day breakfast, ideally washed down with a pint of local beer. Kids are welcome too, with a fully customisable children's menu to ensure everyone's happy.
