With live music, an array of aromatic spicy food to tickle your tastebuds, plus a welcome cocktail on arrival to get you in the mood, it's going to be an evening to remember. Plus, we've even thrown in the fabulous changing views of the River Dart too.

Join us onboard the Dart Explorer for a Latin American inspired Summer party with live music, food and drink! 

Arrive at 6.15pm at the top of the Town Pontoon, on the Embankment ready to join us aboard the MV Dart Explorer on the River Dart.

There'll be a cash bar on board for wines, beers and soft drinks.

And we have our not to be missed Mini Auction of fabulous foodie items! We've got some fantastic prizes up for grabs, including a private wine tasting at Michael Sutton Wine cellar for 10 people, a perfect cream tea experience on the Picnic Boat with @britishcassis Kir Royale, a rather lovely set of @flintandflame knives complete with knife block and the chance to 'Bid for a Chef' & have Kit from Nonsuch House & Julie from the RDYC come & create kitchen magic in your own home & cook for you and six of your closest friends.

Our Midsummer Event is always very popular so book now to avoid disappointment.

Dartmouth Fine Foods offer bespoke catering for any size event from a small Canapé party of 20 to grand weddings for 200. They also offer contract catering and are working on a line of top class ready meals for customers and businesses for re-sale. 

Serin Aubrey started his time in Dartmouth opening the Anzac Street Bistro, a much loved and successful restaurant in the centre of Dartmouth, but after 11 successful years Serin decided to have a change and set about this new business venture with old friend Simon Entwistle (founder of Smith St Delicatessen) and Dartmouth Fine Foods was born. With between them more than 40 years experience in different aspects of the catering trade, they bring a whole heap of knowledge to the Food Festival.

This event is sponsored by Dartmouth Fine Foods and hosted by the Dartmouth Steam Railway and Riverboat Company
