Unforgettable events for seafood foodies planned across the English Riviera, where over 40 varieties of locally caught fresh seafood are landed, with tasting events from top chefs – and even a tasting menu for dogs.
Engage the taste buds and indulge in a seafood celebration like no other as England’s Seafood FEAST returns to the picturesque shores of the English Riviera this September to celebrate the world-renowned local seafood.
Set against the backdrop of the famous Brixham fish market and its charming coastal neighbours, Paignton and Torquay, this culinary event promises an unforgettable experience for food enthusiasts and adventurers alike.
From 27 September to 13 October, marking British Food Fortnight and National Seafood Month in October, the English Riviera proudly presents over 30 events, overnight stays and special menus across the region, transforming it into the ultimate foodie destination. With a focus on locally caught seafood, visitors will have the opportunity to broaden their horizons with over 40 varieties of seafood prepared by top chefs and culinary experts.
Among the highlights of this year’s FEAST are foraging expeditions, masterclasses led by renowned chefs, a seven-course tasting menu from seven different chefs, sizzling BBQs by the beach, and a vineyard tour paired with a delicious seafood meal.
For those with adventurous spirits, there is the unique experience of a sea-swim followed by a rejuvenating sauna session and a sumptuous seafood dinner. Pop-ups, takeovers and restaurants featuring award-winning dishes from the winners of the National Fish and Chip Awards 2024 will also be in the area and guests can also savour a meal inspired by the favourite seafood dishes of iconic local author and national treasure, Agatha Christie.
Visitors can dine in over 40 different eateries across Brixham, Paignton, and Torquay, each offering its unique twist on fresh, locally sourced seafood. Meet the ‘Faces of the Feast’ and immerse yourself in their captivating stories, from the thrilling tales of fishers at sea to the culinary artistry and passion of our talented chefs. And for those travelling with furry companions, fear not – seafood options will even be available for dogs during the Seadogs at Shoreline event.
The 2023 seafood spectacular attracted hundreds of visitors last year and some events sold out within 24 hours.
