Eat the Island is an annual gathering of local food and drink producers with hospitality providers from Portsmouth and beyond. Here at the Queens Hotel we are proud to support the initiative and we have been involved from the outset.
As well as a great way to showcase delicious produce on our doorstep, the event is the official launch for the Southsea Food Festival, which regularly draws thousands of visitors to our streets to sample tasty food and drink.
Paul Playford, General Manager of the Queens Hotel, said:
“We’re proud to support Eat the Island. There’s so much talent and creativity in Portsmouth’s food scene, and we’re committed to championing local producers wherever we can.
“With its focus on connection, innovation, and sustainability, Eat the Island continues to play a vital role in shaping the future of Portsmouth’s food and drink economy.”
