The festival lasts for two days - Saturday and Sunday - and although it is easier for the Southerners of England to get to it, I'd recommend this time next year take a break even if you're based in the North because it will be worth your while. For anyone travelling around the South - get ready for traffic jams. We got stuck in three jams in total, adding an hour onto the journey - but once you're there you can relax and enjoy yourself with some mega fresh seafood and delicious drinks which include ciders, wines and of course champagne!
I have to say the highlight of the festival for me is always the oysters - they're so delicious and although you can get really nice oysters in good restaurants, nothing beats an oyster which has just come from the water. So fresh and tasty with a little bit of lemon juice and tabasco sauce!
I also really enjoyed the sea bass tortilla wrap - I've always limited myself to just chic hen fajitas, but now I am going to experiment putting white fish or prawns in it because who knew the combination of sea bass, jalapeƱos and salsa was so delicious?! It was also the first time I tried whelks - oh hell yums! I had the deep fried whelks with tabasco which were just to die for, and fresh whelks in a salsa mix. If you haven't had them before and like things like squid and snails, then you've gotta give these guys a go!
Besides food which you eat at the festival, there are always several stalls where you can buy gifts and goodies to take home with you - from cheeses, to sweets, oils, specialised cutlery and even clothes! There's something for everyone there - unless of course you cannot handle seafood, in which case this really isn't the food festival for you.
I'm already looking forward to next years festival and this time I probably will even make a little weekend break and stay in Weymouth over night to enjoy not only the glorious seafood at the festival, but also the sandy beach and a few evening cocktails!
