Salcombe exudes breathtaking coastal scenery and a relaxed lifestyle, but it’s by no means a sleepy town. Salcombe honours its fishing and tourism industries with gusto and a generous sprinkling of fun.
Highly acclaimed chefs and restaurateurs will take to the stage in the Chefs’ Demo Marquee, situated in Creek Car Park, to showcase their culinary skills. Watch chef and presenter of BBC1’s Saturday Kitchen and Channel 4’s Food Unwrapped, Matt Tebbutt; Chef Director of Rockfish, Kirk Gosden; Jane Baxter of Wild Artichokes in Kingsbridge; Ben Tonks of The Seahorse; Freddy Bird of littlefrench, among others, cook up a storm. Not only can you learn some excellent preparation and cooking tips, but you can be sure to find yourself laughing throughout with hilarious commentary from David Fitzgerald.
Nick Brodie, organiser of the event, adds “We are so excited for the return of Salcombe Crabfest. We’re incredibly grateful to everyone that has helped us put together this year’s event, which is shaping up to be a fantastic day out for all ages. We are positively overwhelmed by the support we’ve received. The festival is such a fantastic opportunity to showcase Salcombe, and the amazing fishing and tourism industries at the heart of the town, so to be able to do this whilst raising money for The Wind Project is absolutely wonderful. We can’t wait to welcome everyone!”
Of course, Salcombe Crabfest wouldn’t be possible without the amazing support of event sponsors, Coast & Country Cottages, Devon Rum Co, Marchand Petit, Rockfish, and Twisted.
With a free park and ride available as you approach the town, it couldn’t be easier to get to the festival. Salcombe Crabfest is not to be missed! For more reasons to visit this year’s event on Sunday 5th May 2024, visit salcombecrabfest.co.uk.
