Salcombe will be full to bursting this weekend as Crabfest comes back to the town.

Held on Sunday, May 6, Crabfest will feature celebrity chef-led cookery demos, quality food and drink stalls, a classic car show, live music and fun culinary competitions.

The family-friendly festival is organised by the Rotary Club of Salcombe and sponsored by Coast and Country Cottages, Favis of Salcombe and Salcombe Gin.

Entry is free and funds raised by the festival are donated to local charities and good causes. This year’s principal charity is Hope Cove Life Boat.

Celebrity Chef Matt Tebbutt, seen on BBC’s Saturday Kitchen, ITV’s Save Money: Good Food and Channel 4’s Food Unwrapped, will open the festival at 10am and later team up with local food heroes Mitch Tonks of The Seahorse and RockFish and Jane Baxter of Wild Artichokes to prepare some of their favourite seafood dishes in the Chef’s Demonstration Kitchen.

Joining them on the bill are Jane Devonshire - the MasterChef Champion 2016, Freddy Bird - The Lido, Bristol, and Thames Lido, Allister Bishop - South Sands Hotel, Joseph Robinson - Wild Artichokes and Andy Richardson - The Oyster Shack.
