England's Seafood FEAST

If you love seafood and a scenic coastal stroll, England’s Seafood FEAST is a must. Every autumn, the English Riviera (Torquay, Paignton and Brixham) in South Devon throws a two-week celebration of the freshest catch. Think harbour-side feasts, special tasting menus, and the chance to meet the fishers who land your dinner. It’s relaxed, flavourful, and full of sea air.

What to Expect

• Harbour Suppers & Pop-Up Events: From oyster shucking in Brixham to chef-led seafood feasts overlooking the sea.
• Catch & Cook Adventures: Head out on a boat trip, land your own fish, then learn how to prepare it with local chefs.
• Restaurant Specials: Dozens of eateries create limited-time menus featuring the freshest seasonal seafood.
• Talks & Demos: Hear from fishers and chefs about sustainable fishing and clever ways to cook local species.
• The festival is spread across the whole Riviera, so it feels like a gentle food trail rather than a single crowded site.

While you’re here, explore the South West Coast Path for sweeping sea views, visit the lively fish market at Brixham, or take a boat trip to spot seals and dolphins. With cosy B&Bs, boutique hotels, and plenty of seaside pubs, it’s easy to turn the festival into a laid-back holiday.

Whether you’re tucking into a simple crab sandwich on the harbour wall or joining a multi-course seafood banquet, England’s Seafood FEAST serves up the best of the English Riviera on a plate, fresh, local, and unforgettable.
