This is my absolute favourite menu to prepare, with full passion and enthusiasm. It's where I showcase the full explosion of wild flavours, blended with gorgeous local produce, where each bite and course is presented in a more intimate setting, alongside the option to have a carefully curated wine pairing or soft drinks pairing made using the ferments, elixirs and concoctions that we make in house. You will learn lots about wild foods and the evening is more of a tailored experience.
