Taste of the Teign is a Food and Drink Festival held in the last week of September (22nd-30th) in Teignmouth, Shaldon and the surrounding countryside. This growing festival, now in its fifth year, celebrates the provenance and local flavours of the magnificent Teign River Estuary – mussels, crabs, jams, cakes, ales, gin, wine and much more.

Throughout the week, participating local restaurants and cafes host events and feature special menus based on foods available from the Teign Estuary and its environs. Producers demonstrate a range of skills including, how to shell and dress crab and press one’s own apples to make juice or cider.

We want to be a year to remember for the festival and we are introducing an extravaganza for the final weekend – a large marquee on the sea front with local specialist food and drink suppliers, with live music from Sea Shanty singers congregating from all over the West Country.
