The Salt Box is a celebration of seasonal food and open-fire cookery through the coming together of people beneath the trees, creating delicious food from nature’s humble ingredients. We celebrate locally sourced and wild ingredients through our smorgasbord of courses and dining events, all in the great outdoors surrounded by crackling fires.
Our events always provide a warm welcome, a seasonal tipple and something mighty delicious from our flickering flames. Each feast is unique, with a set menu inspired by our nose-to-tail and root-to-fruit ethos as we strive to reconnect people with what’s on their plate.
From seasonal suppers to breakfast in the woods, lakeside picnics to teas in the trees, join us for a meal with a difference.
We take children and adults alike on a journey to discover the immersive world of the great outdoors and encouraging a life in meaningful contact with nature. Find us beneath the trees surrounded by wisps of smoke and the crackle and pop of the fire, 365 days a year.
We offer weekend, one-day, half-day and evening courses for adults and families. Private tuition, corporate and group courses also available upon request.
Connecting people with their inner wildness and the wonders of the great outdoors. Empowering people with the knowledge they need to live a wilder, healthier, happier life in tune with nature – sourcing ingredients from the natural larder with as little impact on the environment as possible.

Woodland Feast over Fire
Family Pasta Making Course
Breakfast in the Woods
"We had a wonderful lunch. We were made to feel welcome right from the start, it felt really special. Gorgeous food and plenty of it. Loved the shared dining. Hope to attend another event with The Salt Box."
"My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the pasta making workshop. Beckie was great at encouraging my daughter and helping us with the kneading. It was just the right level and pace with Christian explaining everything brilliantly and we loved eating the food we had cooked at the end."
"My family had such a wonderful dose of autumn sunshine and golden leaves at the Salt Box’s outdoor breakfast. Beautiful food in a family friendly venue (you can’t get a more perfect venue for my two little scamps!). My 4-year old is already pestering me to book again!"
