Dartmouth Food Festival is extraordinary.
A free, not-for-profit event, spread across one of the most beautiful coastal towns in Britain, and drawing in the finest producers, internationally-renowned chefs and a whole host of celebrities and entertainers.
And after a five year break, we’re so excited to be heading back to the festival this October with our fabulous Christmas puddings!
You’ll find us in a grand marquee nestled on the waterfront, where a plethora of yachts and powerboats come and go all weekend in search of the best of Devon’s food and drink. Here you’ll find producers too small for any supermarket – some of them you’ll never even find in a farm shop!
Jo finds it hard to stay put on our stall with all the temptations around us… intricate handmade chocolates, the finest local cheeses, exquisite pastries… not to mention the pop-up lunch options:
“Looking for lunch is such a culinary adventure” said Jo. “I remember one year watching a top local chef making fresh crab tacos on the waterfront, then turning into a tiny tudor walkway only to discover a huge charcoal grill with Devon ribeye steaks engulfed in the flames and octopus being cooked in a giant copper pot!”
From the peel of the early morning church bells to the ferry ride across the river back towards Exeter, this is the ultimate, quintessentially-British food Festival and we love it!
Dates for 2025: 24th-26th October
