The Easter holidays really do feel like a time of new beginnings. Restaurants serve up the freshest of spring menus, shops stock their shelves with chocolatey offerings, and the epic spring tides rise and fall freshening up the island’s coastline.
So, grab your Easter basket and get ready for it to be filled with chick-tastic ways to pass the Easter days, creating memories that you’ll be cracking up about all year long.
Abundant local produce.
As an island famed for its exports, the Jersey Royal potato, lobsters, oysters and dairy, which all attribute their unique flavours to the Jersey landscape, it’s unsurprising to hear that there’s lots of other yummy local produce too.
Look out for the catch of the day on spring menus like line caught bass, reeled in by local fishermen and fresh Jersey beetroot and purple sprouting broccoli. You’ll also discover the yellowest of yokes from free-range eggs that ooze with freshness on menus at top brunch spots. Wander Jersey’s markets in St. Helier or swing by charming road side stalls by bicycle to find the freshest of produce.
Choc-tastic.
When you hear the phrase ‘made in-house by our local chocolatier’ you know you’re on to something good. And that’s exactly what you’ll get if you visit La Mare Wine Estate in St. Mary or Maison de Jersey in St. Helier this Easter. With a reputation for producing the island’s largest chocolate egg, as well as lots of other cracking Easter delights, if you’re a chocolate lover then this is one place you really don’t want to miss! La Mare are also hosting an Easter Egg Hunt extravaganza – the Easter bunny has been busy galavanting around the gardens, orchards and vines, leaving clues for you and your little ones to find.
