Local services

St Aubin is a vibrant place to go out in the evening for food and drinks, with restaurants serving a wide range of cuisines. There are around 20 restaurants, bars & cafes, serving fresh seafood, English pub food, Italian, Greek, Indian, Japanese, Thai and Turkish. Make sure to book your tables in advance, as restaurants can get very busy during the summer! Here are just a few of the places we recommend:

• Boat House – At this popular bar & restaurant on the harbour-front, you’ll catch the last rays of sun before it dips behind the headland. The food menu caters for a range of tastes and dietary requirements, and they also have a kids menu.
• Chupes Greek Taverna – This authentic Greek restaurant serves delicious meat & fish dishes such as calamari, moussaka, stifado, souvlaki and kleftico.
• Kyoto Prefecture – The freshest and finest ingredients are used in their sushi and izakaya dishes which can be enjoyed in their stylishly decorated restaurant or taken away.
• Noya Shapla – If you enjoy spicy food, then make sure to try out their Indian & Bangladeshi dishes either in their restaurant or to takeaway.
• Old Court House – At the end of the bulwarks on the harbour-front you’ll find the Old Court House Inn. Stop in for a refreshment on the terrace or a meal in the conservatory. The brasserie-style restaurant upstairs has a wider menu, serving local seafood and meat dishes, complimented by an extensive wine list.
• Salty Dog – Food and drinks menus that feature an abundance of local & seasonal produce, meaning everything is fresh out the sea, from the soil and sourced sustainably when possible!
• Sorrento – Authentic Italian cuisine and delightful wine in a picturesque setting on the harbour-front.
• Sugar Banana – Fresh ingredients and aromatic flavours, at this authentic Thai restaurant. You can either dine-in or takeaway.

• Jade-S fish stall – On Saturdays, look out for the fish market outside the Parish Hall. ‘Jade-S’ sells locally caught fresh fish. Every week they’ll have something different, depending on their catch that week. They will happily talk you through their catch!
• Me & the Farmer pork stall – Either follow the ‘Railway walk’ and come out onto La Route des Genets or take the number 15 bus for 5 minutes towards Red Houses. From their cabin, they sell a wide range of ‘Genuine Jersey’ pork products, including pies, scotch eggs, sausage rolls and different cuts of meats.
• Morrisons – Just a minutes’ walk from the door is a Morrisons supermarket. You’ll find all the daily essentials here and it is open every day until 21:00.
• Waitrose – Take a 5 minute bus ride (number 15) in the direction of the airport to Waitrose supermarket. Alternatively, reach the supermarket by bike in around 15 minutes by cycling up the woodland ‘railway track’. Here you will find a large supermarket with a wide selection of food, including international products. There are also fish, meat and cheese counters.

• Genuine Jersey market – One Saturday every month, you’ll find the Genuine Jersey market outside the Parish hall. Local producers and craft workers sell a mixture of items, including baked goods, brewed drinks and craft items.
• Vintage fair – Find a treasure at this regular vintage market in and outside the Parish hall. Stall holders sell vintage, antiques and collectibles items, including ceramics, jewellery, furniture, ceramics, clothing, accessories & books.

Jersey has a good public bus system enabling you to visit all of the island. Bus numbers 12 and 15 stop outside the Costa coffee shop and Parish Hall in St Aubin and travel in the direction of St Helier, the airport and Corbiere. Cash or contactless card payments are accepted. Alternatively, you can buy a public bus pass from Liberation station or St Brelade’s College (if you are attending a language course) which may work out cheaper depending on how many trips you plan to make.

If you are taking an English course at St Brelade’s College, you will need to arrive at the school by 9:00 on the first Monday morning. The school is a 5-10 minute walk from Peterborough House. Turn right at the bottom of La Rue du Crocquet and it is on the right hand side, further up the hill. It is a large granite building, with a large car park at the front.

• Cash machine – you’ll find this in the Parish Hall wall (on the side of the Boat House restaurant).
• Post office – take a walk along the harbour-front and you’ll find this inside Jackson’s Harbour Marina Shop
