Native oysters were being enjoyed by the great and the good at the annual Colchester Oyster feast in October in Colchester Town Hall, however, around the corner the Alternative Oyster Feast was being held at the Greenstead Social Club where fish and chips were being served up. The alternative event was hosted by councillor Dave Harris and over 100 people tucked into the fish and chips.
The Oyster Feast was attended by the Lord Lieutenant of Essex, Jenny Tolhurst, as well as the High Sheriff of Essex, Simon Hall, High Steward of Colchester, Sir Bob Russell, and Garrison Commander, Lt Col Stephen J Caldwell, pull a galaxy of celebrities and civic dignitaries.
Who had the most fun? Well that’s not for us to decide, but the idea of an alternative event is an excellent idea.
