If food is an important part of your ideal self-catering holiday,
Jersey is a fantastic destination.
Jersey has a well-deserved reputation worldwide for
excellent locally-grown produce and superb restaurants, making it
an ideal destination for self-catering fans who love to eat
well.
If you want to cook for yourself you will enjoy exploring the
Central Market and Fish Market in St Helier, and the many farm
shops and seafood shops around the island specialising in local
produce. Of course,
Jersey seafood is a particular speciality of
the island, with crabs and lobsters available year round, and a
spectacular array of locally-caught fish and shellfish available.
Oysters and mussels are cultivated around Jersey's coast, scallops
are sustainably collected in local waters, and the fishmonger's
slab groans with displays of local bass, bream, whiting, mackerel
and many other varieties. And local farm produce also features
large in the shops, with seasonal vegetables including the
wonderful Jersey Royal new potatoes, and the rich milk and other
dairy products from Jersey's famous breed of cattle.
When it comes to eating out, you will be truly
spoiled for choice. Jersey has an amazing range of places to eat
for an island so small, ranging from Michelin-starred restaurants
offering some of the most beautifully crafted food available in the
UK, to country pubs serving traditional grub with a seafood
emphasis, to beach cafes offering simple but delicious favourites
like bacon rolls, fish and chips and the full English all-day
breakfast. Local produce is favoured everywhere, and more often
than not the location and view will be more than a match for the
food!
Whatever your choice of eating place, friendly service, our
local produce and menus with flair and imagination will ensure that
your holiday memories will definitely include fantastic eating!
