Tortoise Takeover 2023

The Royal Yacht are delighted to be an Official Trail Sponsor for the Durrell Jersey Zoo Tortoise Takeover 2023. 

 

In association with Wild In Art, Durrell has a total of 50 large tortoises located at various spots around the island, to create the ‘Tortoise Trail’. The trail launched on Saturday 1st July and will run until 31st August before all the tortoises head up to Jersey Zoo for the farewell weekend from 14th – 17th September.

Our tortoise: ‘Not Fast Food’ 

Artist: Donna Newman

 

We are delighted to unveil our very own tortoise. Located on Queen Street. It’s big, it’s bold and it’s covered in ketchup! A fun play on words, ‘Not Fast Food’ transforms the sculpture into a giant burger. The larger-than-life sesame seed buns are filled with scrumptious salad and look good enough to eat. Created by artist Donna Newman of Eden Designs Murals who works with schools across the Midlands to transform their learning environments with her vibrant artwork. She brings colour and life through her playful designs.

 

On 21st September, all the giant tortoises will go under the hammer at auction, held at The Royal Yacht, with celebrity auctioneer Charles Hanson. The auction is to raise vital funds to help build a new Tropical House at Jersey Zoo. The Reptile and Amphibian House at Jersey Zoo is home to some of the most endangered species that Durrell works with, but is in urgent need of improved and more sustainable facilities.

Taste Jersey 2023

Showcasing The Best Island Produce

In association with Luxury Jersey Hotels, Taste Jersey returns for the third year from 23 March to 9 May 2023. March 2019 saw the launch of Taste Jersey through a partnership between Luxury Jersey Hotels and the Jersey Evening Post with the aim of showcasing the best of island food and drink.

 

Jersey’s land and sea offer such an abundance of excellent produce, from seafood to dairy to Jersey Royal potatoes and more. For a small island, Jersey offers far more than its share of local delicacies. In Cafe Zephyr there is a strong seafood element to Executive Chef, Inaka Weerasinghe’s menu with produce such as oysters, scallops, crab and lobster all on offer. We are extremely lucky to be able to access such fresh produce here in Jersey and our menu in Cafe Zephyr really showcases this.

 

‘The crabs, oysters and scallops are so fresh, they are incredible. When I was working in Dubai, we used to serve Jersey oysters but they had travelled thousands of miles to reach us. It was a similar story in London, where you might be lucky enough to get some fish on the day it was caught but you would often have to wait until the next day. Here, though, the produce only travels a couple of miles. The trawlers dock at Victoria Pier and, even if you walked to the hotel from the boat, it would only take ten minutes to get the fish into the kitchen.’ – Executive Chef, Inaka Weerasinghe

 

Exciting dishes that you will find on our Taste Jersey menu include Rockefeller Scallops, Jersey Seafood Linguine and Half Grilled Lobster. You can also enjoy Jersey Oysters 3 ways; Crispy oysters, pear, citrus mayo and fennel salad, Rockefeller oysters & Fresh with lemon.

 

What makes the Jersey Oysters so special? 

‘The Island has the third-largest tidal range in the world, which means that the oysters are out of the water for up to 12 hours per day, which strengthens them. When you combine that with the clear waters, warm temperatures and sunshine, you get a wonderful firm fish. Scallops benefit in a similar way and, while we may not have the biggest versions in the world, they are definitely among the sweetest that you will find.’
