9th August @ Exeter Castle
Love Local Food Festival
We’re super-excited to announce the second Greendale Love Local Food Festival! Bringing a taste of the countryside to Exeter city centre, this family-friendly event takes place on August 9th at historic Exeter Castle, from 10am until 6pm.
We’ll be hosting plenty of foodie experiences, street food, live music, a traditional bar, al fresco cocktails, children’s activities and more. Take a deep dive into the local food scene with ice cream and cheese making demos, gin and chocolate tasting experiences and more. We’ll be setting up stalls in the castle itself and in the courtyard, seconds away from the High Street – we’d love for you to join us! The event is completely free – no tickets required!
Why Greendale seafood is best
At Greendale we’re only interested in selling the best to our customers. Because we have our own fishing fleet, we can supply our fish counter with regular fresh catches that can be traced directly back to the sea. Operating in accordance with the Seafood Responsible Fishing Scheme, our boats work out of Exmouth, Brixham and Newlyn, and catch a variety of fish from Westcountry waters; a catch can often be on its way to the Greendale farm shop in Exeter within hours of leaving the sea. If we can’t catch it ourselves, we source only from trusted suppliers with standards as high as our own, and we take great pride in ensuring that a delicious variety is always to be found on our fish counter.

Hake Steaks with Salsa Verde
Succulent and tasty, our responsibly-fished hake steaks (or loins) pair perfectly with vibrant salsa verde. Serve with salad and your favourite bread alongside. Serves 4.
Tuna Steaks with Crunchy Cucumber Relish
Hearty and satisfying, tuna steaks will make for a deliciously different BBQ! Here, we’ve paired them with a light cucumber relish that balances the rich meat perfectly. Serves 4.
Swordfish Steaks with Fresh Mango Salsa
With their firm, ‘meaty’ texture and rich flavour, swordfish steaks are a sure-fire BBQ hit. Serve them with the tangy salsa alongside and plenty of bread to mop up the juices. Serves 4.
Fresh Fish
Responsibly Caught
We continuously work towards improving the sustainability of our catch, and lessening the impact fishing operations can have on the marine environment. All our boats operate under strict fishing quotas, designed to prevent overfishing in UK waters, and we have modified the engine of each vessel to minimise carbon emissions. Having achieved Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) sustainability accreditation for our Cornish hake catch, we’re seeking MSC accreditation for a further three fisheries. We also follow the Seafood Responsible Fishing Scheme, to ensure high standards of management, maintenance, crew safety and wellbeing on board our boats. To learn more, click here.
Food Waste
Nothing Gets Wasted
We hate waste! We try to ensure our fish reaches customers in as fresh a state as possible, either from our fish counter or online (fresh fish is delivered via an overnight service). Our skilled fishmongers never discard quality fish if they can help it - filleting offcuts are used in our ready-made fish pies, fish pie mixes and fish cakes, while empty crab and lobster shells are used to make our bisque and fish stock. Any remaining fish waste is collected from us by Advanced Proteins, which processes animal waste into bio-fuel and key pet-food ingredients.
