A Culinary Escape: Longueville Manor Offers the Best of Jersey’s Foodie Scene
Nestled within the lush greenery of Jersey, the sunniest isle in the Channel Islands, you’ll find Longueville Manor, Jersey’s most renowned 5* hotel which offers some of the finest dining on the island (including the most impressive cheese trolley ever seen!), most of which has been grown in their vast Victorian kitchen gardens and greenhouses. Think Jersey Royals, hand dived scallops, Jersey cows, producing the creamiest dairy in the UK and much much more!
Longueville Manor is a food lover’s paradise, with Head Chef Andrew Baird having some robust credentials behind him. Amongst other things, Andrew was the first chef on the island to receive a Michelin Star, has cooked for the queen and as a certified PADI diver has been known to dive for his own scallops! Andrew’s menus pay homage to the island, local produce and the very freshest ingredients at the peak of their seasonality.
Gastronomers and tourists alike have long flocked to the island for its exceptional seafood, farm to table produce and warm climate. Measuring just nine miles by five, Jersey is teeming with culinary innovation and this summer, white sandy beaches, sparkling blue pools, sun loungers, cocktails and exceptional food are only a 40 minute flight away…
Dining at Longueville Manor is stunningly unstuffy. Royal Bay Oysters and seafood platters can be brought to you poolside for relaxed, informal dining and by night, the oak-panelled restaurant is abuzz with diners awaiting a luxuriously decadent feast. Dishes are served with flair and unexpected twists, the Jersey Crab Yuzu is adorned with watermelon, lime and Bloody Mary gel and the Hand Dived Scallops are paired with lobster mousse, sea herbs and courgette flowers. The ethos of the island runs through all of Andrew’s creations, whether they be delicate fish or hearty meat dishes.
For the ultimate foodie staycation, look no further than Longueville Manor. Think rich Jersey cream, melt in your mouth Jersey Royals, one of the largest cheese trolleys in the UK and the most succulent seafood, caught the same day. The hotel also has its very own onsite Kitchen Garden which provides much of the produce for the bar and restaurant. At Longueville, the chefs know the local fishermen by name and have local farmers on speed dial, taking food provenance to new heights.
