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. To date, we have successfully collaborated with over 100 Surrey and Sussex businesses.
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.
After 18 months of running the business out of our garden shed, The Salt Box opened it’s (much bigger) doors in April 2019 to our new premises on the Priory Farm Estate. Based in South Nutfield, Surrey – we have a cosy barn and woodland glen nestled amongst the hills on a beautiful private estate.
Our cosy barn is our office, prep-kitchen, meeting space and indoor dining and workshop.
Originally a lambing barn, it’s a truly beautiful original barn with a touch of Salt Box charm. The perfect spot for a feast, the barn seats up to 20 guests around our shared dining tables.
Nestled in the woodlands on the Priory Farm Estate, our secret woodland location is a 5-10 minute walk from our barn. In Autumn 2019, we opened our woodland shelter seating up to forty guests, so our woodland feasts and courses take place come rain or shine!

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.
Food ought to be simple and ours is, seasoned with smoke and a few select spices.
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.
