CHEF DEMOS

Get inspired to try your hand after watching local chefs demonstrate unusual and exciting seafood combinations,  showcasing the native Fal Oyster.

Experts are on-hand to divulge their tips on choosing, preparing and cooking the great variety of fresh sustainable seafood readily available in Cornwall.

OYSTER BAR

With methods that have changed little in the last 500 years, only vessels powered by sail or oar can operate.  Their catch, the native Fal Oyster with its salty liquor and sweet flesh, is generally considered far superior to the Pacific variety.  Les Angell and his team run the Oyster Bar, shucking fresh oysters to order each day – pair yours with Champagne for a perfect match.

St Michaels Seafood & Champagne Bar

Hosted by our sponsors, St Michaels Resort, the Seafood Bar’s brassiere style menu brings the freshest and greatest produce that Cornwall’s abundant waters have to offer. Wash it down with a glass of champagne from one of the world’s leading houses, Moet & Chandon, while you soak up the festival atmosphere.

MEET THE MAKERS

Indulge in the tastes of native seafood, locally produced wines, ales and home-grown produce.

There’s a wide range of mouth watering Cornish food and drink, hot and cold, to eat in or take away.

With local producers, the arts and craft marquee is filled with a carefully chosen selection of goods for sale.
