10 Tennerfest Menus To Try This Year

It's Tennerfest time again! That time of year when local chefs showcase their talents with tempting menus at reasonable prices. So whether you need a nudge to try a new venue, or simply an excuse to head out to your favourite restaurant for a catch up with friends, we've scanned the new Guernsey menus to produce a list, naturally, to try for 2024.  

 

 

1.  Balthazar

The Balthazar menu this year is dominated by ‘pies, not lies’, with a choice of Steak & Ale Pie, Classic Fish Pie or Guernsey Cheddar & Onion Pie for your main and a couple of dessert pies on offer too. With multiple price points, depending on how many courses you select, it’s available daily for lunch and dinner. 

 

2.  The Puffin and Oyster

The emphasis is on local ingredients at The Puffin and Oyster. Every single option on the menu gives a nod to the best that Guernsey has to offer, starting with Liberation Ale bread, Guernsey seaweed butter, potted mackerel and ending with Gâche Melee and Guernsey clotted cream. It’s good value too, with three courses for just £20.

 

3.  Le Pommier

If you haven't been to Le Pommier for a while, take advantage of their Tennerfest menu to make your return. It’s one of the few restaurants with an actual ‘tenner’ option for one course… but we think you might be tempted to go for at least two courses by their indulgent desserts.

 

4.  The Lobster & Grill

The The Lobster & Grill restaurant has a modern, cosy feel and offers a selection of interesting dining choices, including lobster mac and cheese and local chargrilled octopus - and that’s just the starters! With wine offers and a staycation option running alongside the tennerfest menu, you might be tempted to make a night of it. 

 

5.  The Brasserie at The OGH

The menu at The Brasserie at The OGH offers something a little bit different, and the attention to detail and quality of ingredients is always second to none. At £39.50 for three courses, this menu is stretching the Tennerfest definition a bit, but we’re letting them off. You can drop down to two courses for £32.50 but we think you’ll be tempted to go all the way.

 

6.  Otto

The Otto Italian Tennerfest entry is interesting because it’s a sharing menu, for two people or more. It adopts a pic ‘n’ mix approach, inviting you to select one pizza and one pasta with sides to share for £20, or upgrade to include a starter and dessert for £25. It’s a great value menu, including many Italian favourites with something for everyone.

 

7.  La Fregate

La Fregate has included six fixed menu options in this year’s Tennerfest, with a selection of two course lunch menus for £22.50, three course lunch menus for £25 and three course dinner menus for £29.75. Each of the menus look appetising, with a sophisticated selection of starters, mains and desserts. Sides are optional and will incur a supplement charge, but they do look tempting! 

 

8.  King Balti

If Indian is your food of choice, King Balti might be the Tennerfest for you. At just £15 for two courses, and a side, a rice and a nan bread for sharing between two. There is a selection of dishes to cater for different tastes, with a hot naga chilli option for the brave!

 

9.  La Barbarie 

If you’re thinking of combining your Tennerfest dinner with an out of town staycation package, try La Barbarie. It’s a traditional menu, with a selection of handpicked wines to accompany your meal at special prices, and you can upgrade to a staycation for £87 per person, which includes £25 per person restaurant credit - so that’s your Tennerfest dinner sorted! -  overnight accommodation and a full Guernsey breakfast.

 

10.  Nineteen Bar  Grill

Family favourite Nineteen has a variety of starters, mains and desserts to choose from, for both lunch and dinner, with two courses for £22.50 and three courses for £27.50. There’s something for everyone, from burgers to sea bass and multiple vegetarian options in the mix. Book some time on the driving range and make an event of it.
