MARK Hix is kicking off oyster season with a special all-day celebration in Lyme Regis.
The chef will host the event on the deck of The Oyster & Fish House on Saturday, September 3 between 10.30am and 4.30pm.
He will be joined by like-minded oyster growers and experts Nigel Bloxham (Crab House Café, Billy Winters, Portland Oysters), Pete Miles (Dorset Oysters) and James McCarthy (Red Panda and East Kitchen + Bar).
Guests will discover oysters from around the south west of England and enjoy them paired with an array of drinks including English sparkling wine from Lyme Bay Winery, Beer and cider from Palmer’s Brewery and cocktails from Black Cow pure milk vodka and Somerset Distillery
Mark Hix said: “Oysters are a unique and quintessential piece of British food heritage. This day will bring the humble oyster to the forefront, showcasing and celebrating this versatile and truly British product.”
Live music will accompany the event, in collaboration with Lyme Folk Weekend, with the pitch and putt in front of the restaurant becoming the ‘Oyster Stage’ for live acts.
Entry to the event is free of charge and food and drink tokens will be available to purchase on the day.
