Without doubt Emsworth is the South Coast’s best kept culinary secret.
This historic, picturesque, old Fishing Village set on the beautiful Chichester Harbour between Portsmouth and Chichester probably has more quality restaurants and public houses, not to mention independent food retailers, per square mile than any other comparable village in England.

It was thus the perfect setting for what became the region’s leading Food Festival. Taking place over three days of a weekend in September each year, this was an event that no food lover could have failed to enjoy.  Whether it was fresh oysters on the fishing quay, lunch or dinner in one of the village’s restaurants, or purely strolling through.
