England's Seafood FEAST is set to make a grand return to the English Riviera from 21 September to 4 October, promising a culinary celebration of the region's rich seafood offerings. The festival, a staple in the area's food calendar, will see restaurants, cafés, pubs, and hotels across Torquay, Paignton, and Brixham crafting exclusive menus that highlight locally sourced seafood.
Brixham Fish Market, known for its diverse selection of over 50 species of fresh fish and seafood, will supply the local eateries, ensuring visitors enjoy the freshest catch. The festival will feature a variety of experiences, from harbourside dining and chef-led tasting menus to seafood safaris, showcasing the region's hospitality and coastal allure.
Michelin-starred chef Simon Hulstone's restaurant, The Elephant, will be among the notable participants, offering guests a taste of one of the UK's premier seafood destinations. Kelly Widley, the festival's programme curator, emphasised the event's role in supporting local businesses and enhancing the area's reputation as England's Seafood Coast. "Every booking made during the FEAST supports local businesses and helps celebrate an industry that continues to shape our communities for generations to come," she stated.
Carolyn Custerson, CEO of the English Riviera BID Company, highlighted the festival's appeal, noting, "Whether you're looking for fine dining overlooking the coast, a relaxed seafood platter on the harbourside, traditional fish and chips, or something completely different, there's something to suit every taste and every budget."
With new events and venues being added, the festival promises an unforgettable seafood adventure for all attendees. For more information, visit the English Riviera's official website
