Plymouth has a wealth of fine places to eat, and many can be found in and around our stunning Barbican, Sutton Harbour, across the waterfront and Royal William Yard.

Plymouth Waterfront Partnership are teaming up with the fantastic restaurants, pubs and eateries across the BID area to create an exclusive digital cookbook, ‘Cooking the Waterfront Way’.

Jon Walton, CEO, and Kim Downer, Business Liaison Manager, Plymouth Waterfront Partnership:

“We are so fortunate to have such a wealth of great places to eat, and such talented chefs and cooks across our stunning waterfront area, and we really want to celebrate this.

Our popular Seafest event taking place this weekend gives us the opportunity to launch the cookbook with a growing selection of ocean-inspired dishes, created by some of our well-known businesses, including Hook & Line, ROCKFISH, Honkytonk Wine Library, Salumi and the Duke of Cornwall Hotel; and in the coming months we plan to introduce more recipes for Christmas and Easter!”

Seafest is set to make a splash this weekend and promises to be the biggest yet, with a diverse range of businesses, traders, and family-friendly activities spanning the waterfront from Bretonside to Royal William, and across to Mount Batten and Mount Edgcumbe.

This year, Plymouth Waterfront Partnership are partnering with Plymouth City Council and Plymouth Sound National Marine Park to make the festival even bigger than ever. The Plymouth Sound National Marine Park is made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
