Forage and Feast

Welcome in Spring with us on our special wild food and feasting event at our stunning spot in Studland where you can enjoy natures own larder in an idyllic seaside setting.

We have some super talent on board the Fore wagon this year and there will be a few special creators and guest chefs working with us on this years feasts to make doubly sure the evenings sing to a very high tune… the price is inclusive of a scrumptious 3 course meal prepared by Fore / Kitchen, wild cocktail to start and wine with the meal.

The evening will involve a foraging walk & some demos to show you on the spot how your super supper and all the trimmings are created and to talk through some of the foraged ingredients we will be using so you can leave us with happy tummies and some nuggets of wisdom too!
