Food & Drink
Sample spring’s bounty
Spring in Jersey brings a bounty of fresh, local produce that showcases the island’s rich agricultural heritage.
Sample the unique, earthy flavour of our famous Jersey Royal Potatoes in island restaurants as early as March, or indulge in a delicious Jersey dairy ice cream, made using milk produced by the island’s iconic Jersey Cows. Spider crabs are plentiful on the island in spring as they migrate inshore – and Jersey oysters, washed clean by our gigantic tides – are especially good at this time of year too.
Pick up your own produce at St. Helier’s Victorian Central Markets, local farm shops or our quirky roadside ‘hedge veg’ stalls to cook up a storm in your self-catering accommodation. Or choose from one of many restaurants, pubs and cafés – plenty with al fresco areas to soak up the spring sunshine.
