Foraging & Wild Cooking

HOME > EXPERIENCES > Foraging & Wild Cooking

Join a UK professional forager – wherever you are in the country – to learn the art of foraging and to discover the vast range of wild edibles lying all around us and in your local area, before cooking up your very own wild lunch. Head back to nature and learn how to forage for and cook wild produce, including fire cooking skills for an outdoor feast of your finds.

This experience is all about exploring the countryside and wild areas close to your own home, discovering the wild foods and ingredients growing nearby. Start the day with a morning cup of forager’s coffee (made with dandelion roots) and learn the basics of foraging with a leading expert. Head out into the woods and hedgerows – either a site they visit regularly or a spot that you really enjoy visiting and want to explore in a new way.

During the experience, your professional forager will introduce you to a number of edible species, giving you tips on harvesting, correct identification and possible look-alikes to watch out for. You will have an opportunity to taste a huge range of pre-made wild food tasters, from pickles to jams, chutneys, syrups, flavoured salts and alcohol infusions. After your foraging walk, get involved and cook up a 2-course lunch utilising wild and foraged ingredients picked on the day – and some bits prepared by the foraging team – cooked over an open fire.

Price per private group: £650

This experience takes place with minimal close contact. It is held outdoors and every hygienic precaution will be taken as necessary to ensure your safety.
