Weston-Super-Mare Food Scene

Ideally situated on the river estuary in the Bristol Channel, Weston-super-mare is well known for its outstanding seafood, and the surrounding countryside produces superb quality locally reared meat and locally grown fruit and vegetables.

Like a number of port towns on the Severn Estuary, Weston-super-mare is culturally diverse and therefore it boasts a multicultural food scene.

Thanks to an influx of immigrant populations in the late 18th and 19th centuries, today Weston-super-mare is home to a dazzling array of cuisines from all corners of the world.

Diners can enjoy vibrant spice-laden dishes from North African countries such as Morocco, or sample interesting home-cooked meals from Italy and Greece. Turkish restaurants in the town are famed for their outstanding BBQ and grill dishes, whilst classic takeaway cuisines from China, India and Japan are also among the firm favourites in this seaside town.

There is no shortage of traditional British eateries either in Weston-super-mare. From classic fish and chips restaurants such as the highly acclaimed Papas (BS23 1LN) to cosy family-friendly bistros and cafes, this town has it all.
