Fire, flavour and the unmistakable aroma of slow-cooked barbecue will take centre stage this May as The Osea View Café hosts its first-ever Salt and Smoke Festival on Saturday 23rd May.
Set against the sweeping coastal backdrop of the Blackwater Estuary, this one-day festival promises a full Texas BBQ feast, celebrating bold flavours, smoky goodness and the art of cooking low and slow. Guests can expect generous plates piled high with expertly prepared meats, rich marinades and that authentic BBQ atmosphere done properly.
This is an event designed with true meat lovers in mind. Think juicy cuts, deep smoky flavours and relaxed, sociable dining by the sea where the pace slows down and the focus is firmly on great food, great company and the outdoors.
Championing local produce is at the heart of the festival. Meat will be sourced from renowned local suppliers including Blackwell & Co and Dingley Dell Pork, ensuring quality, provenance and exceptional flavour in every bite.
Janie Robinson, owner of Osea Leisure and The Osea View Café, says:
“For us, everything starts with the quality of the produce and the people behind it. We’re incredibly proud to work with local suppliers like Blackwell & Co and Dingley Dell Pork, who share our passion for doing things properly. The Salt and Smoke Festival is about celebrating that – bringing people together by the coast to enjoy outstanding food, cooked simply and well, with real care and provenance at its heart.”
Alongside the BBQ feast, guests can soak up the laid-back coastal atmosphere, with the café’s unique position on the sea wall offering uninterrupted estuary views – the perfect setting for an afternoon of indulgence.
As always, the café’s full menu will also be available, making it an ideal destination whether visitors are coming specifically for the festival or simply looking for a memorable day by the sea.
No booking is required – guests are invited to simply turn up, find a spot and enjoy.
