The Big Eat Returns This October
October is a great time to discover Guernsey through its food. The Big Eat brings together restaurants, chefs, producers and food businesses across the island for a month of special menus, dining events and new experiences.
With Guernsey’s focus on fresh, local produce, there is plenty to enjoy, from seafood and seasonal ingredients to international dishes, tasting menus and food made especially for the festival. It’s a chance to try somewhere new, revisit a favourite or enjoy a menu you won’t find at any other time of year.
This October's programme also includes a special evening at China Red with celebrity chef Ching-He Huang MBE, bringing her acclaimed Asian cooking to Guernsey.
