Charleston
in South Carolina

If you have your finger on the pulse of what's going on in food, then you've probably heard of Charleston. One of the oldest cities in America - and probably one of the most European - Charleston is incredible. Stunning, colourful stucco houses pepper the oak-lined streets, and the food is some of the best in the U.S. It's about time you checked it out.

WELTON'S TINY BAKESHOP

Upper King

shop

Simply outstanding. We can hardly imagine a better way to describe this pint-sized bakery. The menu changes daily, and the queue outside can snake around the corner, so we like to call in our orders by phone. If you find yourself with a spare window, scoop up a loaf of the benne sourdough (that’s ‘sesame’ in Gullah, or Sea Island Creole), grab some nibbly bits from goat.sheep.cow. and set up a little picnic at White Point Garden.
