OMG! This is me! Seafood all day long! Yes please. I really do need to visit this place. That Thai place had be dribbling and drooling all over the place. I often get a Thai Seafood sharing starter supposedly for 3 people from a local takeaway but scoff the lot myself. I am in heaven with seafood and when it is Thai, then all the more so. The lobster roll also had me jealous with greed. If I could solely live off fish and seafood 24/7 I glad would. The only minor exception is cooked salmon; the texture is just wrong. But I do love smoked salmon, especially with cream cheese and chives in a bagel. Mrs Greeno really knows what she is doing. Her lobster and Mac & Cheese with crab looked stunning. As we are on the seafood subject, I am going to throw in a recommendation if I may...The Brighton Shellfish & Oyster Bar, is one of the best places for casual seafood stalls, but the quality there is 10/10. Just stay away from the fakeries like "crab sticks" etc stick to the genuine items and see if it gets a "Greeno 5/5" 😄It does have a website but TH-cam never lets me post links, so you may want to take a look before deciding. Although please wait until September at the very earliest, I do not know how true it is, but I am a strong believer in fresh seafood can only be eaten when there is an "r" in the month! I respect the fact it cost nearly £110 overall which is not to be ignored, but £40 was just entry and drinks. IMHO the seafood prices by themselves were not too bad.
I think the entry fee was a bit of a cheek (I note they have pushed it up to £15 a ticket this year!), but the food was in the main very enjoyable. Thai flavours are great aren't they - often very delicate and fragrant, but all the way up to the jungle curry. Yum !
It was a good, if somewhat pricey day 😀 I love how Little’un will try almost any food (although I’m not too upset she wasn’t fond of lobster, that could become pricey!)
We were there Saturday, the mussel queue was long, but nowhere near as long as the mac and cheese line. Disappointed we missed out on the paella as that looked awesome, did you get to try that?
Yeah, someone somewhere was making some money… £10 a ticket, should at least have got a drink voucher or something with that. The squid guys probably made most though, flogging deep fried frozen squid at £10 a portion!
Seafood is my favourite! I love it all apart from whelks! I’d like to try abalone but I’ve never even seen it in person before 😢😅 Britain sends most of its best seafood abroad unfortunately .. that’s most likely why I’ve never seen abalone for sale before. My favourite seafood is probably crab. I like the little Atlantic prawns that you peel yourself too they’re so much more meatier and sweeter than the ready peeled mushy ones.
It's strange isn't it, that we as Brits don't have a taste for much of what we land around our shores. Crab is great, we get some fab ones round here, Portland Crab is very good.
The £20 admission was far too much. Plymouth do an annual 3 day Flavour Fest which is free and includes cookery demos so that seemed a bit too much like a tourist rip off IMO. The grilled lobster was better value that the lobster roll for the same money, at least you get to fully appreciate the meat without a load of mayo/dressing. The Thai tempura seemed like the best value.
Yeah, the food festival on Poole Quay we went to last year was free, and had some extras. If you’re charging for the ticket then you should maybe get a drink voucher or something thrown in. The Thai food was definitely the best value, I don’t think the mac and cheese was a bad price either. That squid was an abomination though!
Yeah, they got lucky with the weather I guess. Plenty walking up and paying on the gate, we got there around 11am and was busy then. Some of the queues for food were horrendous. Mrs Greeno queued for 30 mins to get that lobster and mac and cheese!
@@davidjones6470 I know, she wasn't happy. Although they had apparently run out of Mac and cheese shortly after she joined the queue, but had time to make another batch before she got served ha ha!
Yes, had to pay an entry fee - was actually £10 each (2 adult tickets = £20, kids free) - Don't really feel I got much for that initial £20. It was a lovely day, and the food was great (apart from that terrible squid!)
@@GreenoEats Maybe they collected it so they could pay for waste in the aftermath or something? Ha, that squid will go down in history as the worst squid to ever have existed!
I guess they justify the entry fee by the fact they have guest speakers and workshops etc. In the main the food was tasty, well apart from the squid which was garbage. Some better value than others certainly, the Thai food was good value, the lobster roll was nice, but 15 quid for a sandwich is strong by anyone’s sandwich. No meal deal on that one😂 Oh and before I forget, who are you calling a fool, surely not moi 🤣🤣🤣
Yes, I think the organisers certainly made their money, I imagine the pitch fees they charged the vendirs, plus the entry fee for the punters is a double whammy. I won't go again unless they change the pricing one way or another.
My god. I would love to treat my hubby to something like that for his birthday. He'd be in heaven. I didn't know these things existed so thank you so much for this video ❤
Let me know what your favourite thing we bought was... I'd love to know what you'd have tried yourself!!
We did spend a lot of money, but in the main we got decent food for our money - well maybe not that squid!!
Well for 3 of you, money well spent init, Got to treat yourselves now and then init,
@@GreenoEats😂😂 squid
Me I have tried a few things, tasty looking grub be fair,
@@davidjones6470 yeah we treated as a day out, every once in a while it does you good to have a few treats

Looked an awesome event Greeno In beautiful Weymouth. Food looked superb! Glad you all had a good day!! …. Smithy

@@GreenoEats I thought it was fantastic how she gave all the different foods a try Greeno, good on her!!!!
Awesome vlog sir, you nailed the voice as always,
Looked a great day out, and nice weather, yeah you spend £110, but you all enjoyed it,
Ah thanks, positive feedback as always, much appreciated.
We just came back. Really enjoyed it. Gutted to moss out on the mussels but the queue was far too long…
We were there Saturday, the mussel queue was long, but nowhere near as long as the mac and cheese line. Disappointed we missed out on the paella as that looked awesome, did you get to try that?
the lemonade and gelato looked good, prices a bit steep, interesting vlog

Have I just watched CBeebies lmfao cracking content not sure of the narration 😂
Ha ha - that was a *very* shortlived experiment with the voiceover !
Looks a very interesting one Greeno Sir, just looking at the Thumbnail,
Ooo £100????
Yep, but nowadays I guess it’s rare to have a family day out and come home with change out of £100… world’s gone mad!
@@GreenoEats yes it has
Looked well busy,
Yeah, they got lucky with the weather I guess. Plenty walking up and paying on the gate, we got there around 11am and was busy then. Some of the queues for food were horrendous. Mrs Greeno queued for 30 mins to get that lobster and mac and cheese!
@@GreenoEats 30mins, bloody hell,
@@davidjones6470 I know, she wasn't happy. Although they had apparently run out of Mac and cheese shortly after she joined the queue, but had time to make another batch before she got served ha ha!
@@GreenoEats lucky then 😆😂
This sounds like Jackanory.
🤣
£20 each just to get in 😅 Jesus!
Actually that £20 was for 2 adult tickets - so £10 each
Oh, you had to pay an entry fee? Otherwise it looks like a really fun day out with some good food!
£20 each for adults 😅

@@lilesindiecorner I’m sure there are costs associated with staging it, although I am sure they were charging the vendors for their place too.
a fool and their money are easily parted, pure extortion, why should people have to pay entry for small portions of greasy food😭😭😭😭

Wouldn't have gone there £20 entrance fee, then expensive food what a rip off.

It wasuch better when it was on the harbourside but it did get extremely busy, but it was free!
@@a1joiner5 you're welcome, they're running the festival again this year, think it's in early September
