Shucking Up a Storm: Oyster Buoys at the Game Fair 2026

There’s something completely natural about pairing the great British countryside with the very best of British waters. This season, the Oyster Buoys team is packing up the shucking knives, loading up the bar, and heading out to the Game Fair!

For us, the Game Fair isn’t just an event; it’s a celebration of heritage, tradition, and incredible local produce. We can’t think of a better setting to showcase the finest coastal treasures the UK has to offer.

Our journey started in oyster cultivation, and if there’s one thing we love more than eating oysters, it’s talking about them. The UK coast produces some of the most complex, diverse, and delicious oysters in the world, heavily influenced by the unique waters they’re grown in.

When you visit our pitch at the Game Fair, you won’t just get a snack—you’ll get a masterclass in regional flavor profiles.

We are bringing a carefully curated selection of local legends and regional stars to the field:

• The Classics: Freshly shucked rock oysters, served naked or with our signature house-made mignonette and sauces.
• The Crowd-Pleaser: Crispy, hot tempura oysters for those who like their seafood with a golden, crunchy twist.
• The Perfect Pour: Oysters need an equal partner. We’ll be pouring crisp, dry English sparkling wines and local refreshments that cut through the briny richness perfectly.

Catch Us in the Kitchen! We aren’t just staying behind our bar. Keep an eye out for the Oyster Buoys team taking over the Game Fair Country Kitchen stage across the weekend. We’ll be doing live demonstrations, sharing our expert shucking tips, and proving that oysters belong at the heart of British food culture.

Whether you’re a seasoned oyster connoisseur who can spot a native from a mile away, or a total beginner looking to try your very first half-shell, we’ve got you covered. Intimidated by the shell? Come by the pitch and we’ll show you exactly how to handle a shucking knife safely.

The field is calling, the ice is crushed, and the oysters are perfectly chilled. Grab your boots, bring your appetite, and let’s make 2026 a year to remember.

See you by the bar!
