The Jersey Festival of Food is a celebration of the Jersey Royal new potato, oysters, seafood and other local island produce.
Nine days of fun and feasting when local produce is at its seasonal best – begins on 19 May with a two-day al fresco food fair at the Waterfront.
Festival of Food
The Island’s enthusiasm for gastronomy is celebrated at the Jersey Food Festival from May 19 to 27, when the island’s food producers, chefs, artisans and restaurateurs offer a variety of guided tours, demonstrations and special deals.
Food Grown Here Not Flown Here
Highlights include Michelin starred dining, low water rambles, a turbot tour, chefs demonstrations, foraging, food and ale trails and tutored tastings.

Impressions of Jersey used to be marred by arriving at the uninspiring port and provincial island capital of St Helier, but a smartening-up of the place and a passion for food reflected in three Michelin-starred restaurants has improved the island’s image.
The Island Development Board had a clear brief to smarten up the Waterfront area and market the site for a four or five star hotel and in 2007 the site became home to the Radisson Blu Waterfront Hotel which nestles in the heart of the marina and offers guests effortless access to the promenade and stunning views of the St Helier waterfront and recently was awarded Gold in the Green Tourism Business Scheme.
