while away an afternoon in the peace and quiet of the Avon Valley. Thus in a (quite literally) organic way, The Oyster Shack was born. Keeping this ethos alive, Fay and Peter extended the original shack to house a restaurant both inside and outside - still to this day, winters are rustic and cosy inside by a roaring fire whilst summer dining is enjoyed al fresco outdoors. In February 2018, The Shack changed hands for only the third time when it was bought by Kieron Vanstone and Dino Buonaguidi. Kieron (aged 31yrs) has long had an association with The Shack. His parents have until recently owned the nearby Holywell Village Stores at St Ann’s Chapel and Kieron and his sisters spent many of their teenage years and university vacations work- ing at The Shack. Kieron then went off to university to study stage management. Through good fortune, hard work and a strong


entrepreneurial streak, Kieron and Dino have built up the hugely successful immersive theatre experience The Vaults located under Waterloo Station. A natural development of that business led them to purchasing a nearby pub and creating the equally successful Vaulty Towers. The success of these ventures over the


past 5 years helped them to acquire The Oyster Shack. River, sunshine and oysters have long combined into


a successful formula for The Oyster Shack. With just little tweaks here and there, that formula has hardly changed. The Oyster Shack is all about providing the best hearty seafood dinner our oceans and rivers can deliver. Although the local oyster beds have since closed, the Oyster Shack now sources it oysters from the nearby River Yealm and from Constantine in Cornwall located on the Helford River. Crab and lobsters come from Salcombe and fish is bought in the Brixham and Plymouth markets. As much produce as possible is sourced locally. The Oyster Shack experience is


great fun whether experienced over lunch or in the evening. “Local and sustainably caught seafood, cooked to perfection” – that’s their motto.


So being true to their word, the menu is hand crafted daily, depending on what’s been landed locally and what’s in season in the surrounding areas. The eponymous oysters are the purest around


following an extended two-week purification process. There’s a particular focus on ‘sharing’, whether it’s a plate of oysters, an all aboard fish platter or a surf and turf experience of steak and lobster. Mussels with fries
