Enjoy a great value taste of Guernsey at the 2011 Tennerfest


29. September 2011

Fixed price menu promotion starts this weekend

More than 70 Guernsey restaurants are taking part in the Channel Islands’ annual Tennerfest fixed price menu promotion - so there’s never been a better time to enjoy a taste of Guernsey!

Running from 1 October to 12 November, Tennerfest will see restaurants across the island offering special set menus, ranging from £10 to £17.50 per person.

Surrounded by a bountiful sea and with a perfect gardening climate, Guernsey is renowned for its superb seafood, rich dairy produce and locally-grown vegetables. The local passion for food has given rise to a wide choice of fine dining opportunities across the island - with the culinary range taking in French, Spanish, Thai, Indian, Chinese, Greek and Italian food, in addition to traditional Guernsey fare.

Many participating restaurants are located in the island’s quaint capital St Peter Port, but there are numerous opportunities to enjoy a Tennerfest dining experience in Guernsey’s rural parishes, atop spectacular cliffs or alongside sweeping beaches and bays.

To see what’s on offer, visit the Tennerfest website at www.tennerfest.com, where you’ll find details of all the participating restaurants, their menus, prices and booking information.
