This dish has been on our menu for a fair few years, and featured in our season finale of Fire, Smoke and Iron on @chowtimebites.

Cookedd over the flames and basted with @theginkitchen rum, served with the finest Surrey clotted cream from @libbyslarder, and topped with a ginger crunch 🔥.

This amazing illustration popped up as a surprise

This amazing illustration popped up as a surprise last week thanks to the team at @woodandham 🔥.

Part of #campaignshopindependent, this incredible design duo have been sharing the love for local businesses since Lockdown 1.0, alongside running their illustration led design agency based here in Surrey.

You’ll find them at their very first farmers market this weekend at @ploughproduce in Mayford (near Woking).

Thank you Imogen and Lewis at @woodandham for featuring us - we love it and hope to welcome you to the woods very soon!

Back in the woods today for our first Cooking Over

Back in the woods today for our first Cooking Over Fire course that celebrates VEG! 🥕

Here in the UK, we are blessed with a wide range of seasonal vegetables, many of which we love to feature on our menus.

Cooking vegetarian dishes over the flame is a fantastic way of getting incredible flavour and texture, from coal-baking and char-grilling to smoking and hay-baking.

So much hard work and love goes into raising this beautiful produce from the soil to the plate, so we’ll also cover making the most of all parts of our vegetables, from root to fruit, ensuring nothing goes to waste!

Pictured here: cooking up coal baked sweet potato pancakes, on the menu for today’s brunch dish 🔥.

Keen to join a Veggie Cooking Over Fire course? Drop us a message and we’ll keep you posted on new dates.

Here beneath the trees is where you’ll find us 🌲.

Earlier this year we extended our space up in the woods and invested in this glorious @tentipieventtents - which means we can now welcome a few more of you to our feasts 🔥!

This week we’re hosting our first batch of 3-nights back-to-back - a rather exciting yet daunting task with our small team. Last feast night tomorrow - we’re looking forward to welcoming you all!

Thank you to all who’ve joined us this week 🙏🏼, you guys keep our cogs turning.

The final arrival of the heady sweet scent of elde

The final arrival of the heady sweet scent of elderflower marks the start of summer in our books. A homemade elderflower and rhubarb syrup is making its way into this week’s welcome tipples 🥂.

Look forward to seeing you around our tables ☀️.

Beet Leaf ‘Seaweed’ 🌿

We are fully committed to minimising our environmental impact in all of our processes, from sourcing products locally to minimising waste. We have always had a root to fruit ethos, which means our menus we like to get creative and utilise as much of a plant, fruit or animal that we can.

Beetroot is on the menu for this week's Feasts Over Fire, which means we're left with a bounty of nutritious, iron-rich leaves which are more often than not, thrown away.

The leaves have been washed, really finely shredded, deep fried and tossed in a combination of sugar, salt and sesame seeds - creating what we call our beet leaf 'seaweed' - packed with flavour and texture which we'll be garnishing one of our courses with later this week 🔥.

This is us 🔥. It’s been a while since we sai

This is us 🔥.

It’s been a while since we said hello - we’re co-founders Beckie and Christian… navigating this crazy sort-of-post-pandemic rollercoaster one day at a time, with a mighty fine team behind us.

We are growing and evolving, slowly but surely. Alongside delivering our calendar of events we’re busy making plans and we do hope they’ll include you!

We are recruiting for a number of new members to the team - including a freelance chef and two Kickstart Roles. If they sound like your cup of tea, give us a shout!

A ginormous thank you to all of you who contribute to support us 🌿 we wouldn’t be here without you lot!

Smokey Pig Cheek Tacos 🔥. Pig Cheeks, we feel,

Smokey Pig Cheek Tacos 🔥.

Pig Cheeks, we feel, are one of the most underrated cuts of meat on the market - yet they are possibly one of the most delicious! Slowly smoked over glowing embers with a chunk of your favourite wood renders them into the most delicately tender morsel of meat that will ever pass your lips. This smoked pigs cheek recipe we created for @hillhousefarmdorking is a brilliant foundation to so many dishes!

After marinading in our BBQ Barn Blend seasoning overnight, we cooked these up in our @proqsmokers with a little cherry wood (but you can also achieve similar results in a kettle BBQ).

Once the pigs cheeks are cooked to perfection, they can be teased into chunks. Tucked into a taco, eaten on toast with pickles and chutney or crisped up and scattered over a salad. You could even set them in the fridge with a little of the cooking liquor and then cut them into bite sized pieces, crumb them and deep fry for the most incredible nuggets!
⁠⁠
Featuring incredible Gloucester Old Spot Pig Cheeks from the team at @hillhousefarmdorking. Pictured here we’ve paired them with @coolchileco corn tacos, charred pickled chillies and our very favourite pink pickled onions.

For the full recipe, head to Hill House Farm's website - where you can also order a selection of their incredible produce - delivered nationwide. ⁠⁠
