We curate unforgettable feasts cooked over an open fire, through our range of dining events and cookery courses. Our events are primarily hosted in the great outdoors or in our cosy barn here at our home on the Priory Farm Estate in South Nutfield. Occasionally, we also pop-up at our favourite locations in and around the South East of England.
Since we started The Salt Box in 2017, we have strived to bring people together through a shared love of food, whilst also reconnecting people with what’s on their plate. We are committed to strengthening our local food community and do our very best to support local.
In Spring 2019, following a successful Crowdfunding Campaign, we opened Surrey’s first Woodland Cookery School, inviting children and adults alike to come and cook with us in the woods in a relaxed atmosphere, no matter the weather.
Our feasts over fire showcase the very best of our doorstep produce, all enjoyed around our signature shared dining tables. From woodlands suppers to breakfast in the woods and teas in the trees, join us for a meal with a difference.

In April 2019, we moved to our first bricks-and-mortar premises on the Priory Farm Estate. Based in South Nutfield, Surrey (30 mins by train from Central London) – we have a cosy barn and woodland glen where we host our range of experiences. Our secret woodland is a 5 minute walk from our barn/parking area.
The Salt Box was born out of a passion for seasonally inspired, locally sourced and wild ingredients.
Food ought to be simple and ours is, seasoned with smoke and a few select spices. We focus on cooking with what the land provides us, moving with the bounty of the seasons. Root to fruit and nose to tail – this is the foundation in which we craft our menus.
Our fires are the engine room of our outdoor feasts, fuelled by sustainably harvested wood from Surrey Wildlife Trust. We embrace traditional, nomadic fire cooking techniques which add a unique complexity of flavour and texture to our dishes.
Our Woodland Glen is a 5 minute walk from our car-park, with an uphill section.
