Say hello to our Deer-in-Blankets from our Festive Feast menu 🔥.

Fallow and red wine sausages, made from all our venison trim for recent butchery courses, glazed with a fermented hawthorn berry glaze, then cooked on this spinny grilly thingymybob Beckie's Mum picked up in a junk shop in Italy.

Proper tasty 👌🏼.

Our last weekend in the woods for the year - spent

Our last weekend in the woods for the year - spent hosting two days of our Wild Venison Butchery and Cookery course🦌.

A huge thank you to everyone who braved the cold and joined us this weekend - closing eight crazy months of events beneath the trees!

We’re giving our woodland glen a bit of a rest, but our wild game and fire cookery courses will be back from February 🔥.

Special thanks to our game stalker and bud @cheftom_g for joining us this weekend and giving our guests an incredible insight into the essential management of deer populations here in the UK.

Cheers to the Weekend! Our Feasts Over Fire alway

Cheers to the Weekend!

Our Feasts Over Fire always begin with a seasonal tipple, teeming with wild ingredients and local tipples. This season, one of our absolute favourites is the Thornstar Martini - a wild twist on the classic Pornstar martini combining Amarosa rosehip rum, woodruff vodka, hawthorn berry syrup and sea buckthorn Juice - packing a punch in flavour!

This killer cocktail is made possible thanks to our friends at @buckandbirch - the creators of award winning foraged liqueurs and cocktails, all inspired by nature. They create a mighty fine array of wild spirits - our favourite being the Aelder Elderberry Elixir!

Best enjoyed beneath the trees, of course.

Learn to make Pasta 🍝
[Sunday 12th December]

Simple ingredients and a little bit of love is all you knead to make your own perfect pasta dough!

Join us in the cosy Lambing Barn this December - we’ll use the freshest ingredients and go through everything you need to know to make fresh pasta, from kneading to shaping through rolling. We’ll all get stuck in and make freshly made pasta sheets to create tortellini, a filled pasta, whilst also demonstrating how to create a selection of other pasta shapes including tagliatelle and pappardelle.

Using the best seasonal produce, we’ll also share how to make a number of seasonal sauces to fill and accompany our freshly made pasta, which we’ll get to enjoy with our favourite local tipples.

To book, head to the link in our Bio. We’d love to see you there!

Fire baked scones 🔥. There really aren't many

Fire baked scones 🔥.

There really aren't many things you can't cook over a fire.. scones certainly benefit from a dry intense heat that radiates from the embers to give them a good old lift!

We cook our scones in a Dutch oven - a little smoke will get trapped inside, infusing the scones with a light wisp of smoke.

Dutch ovens are great for baking sweet treats over the fire - don't just reserve them for low and slow stewing.

To get heat to both the top and the bottom of the ‘oven’- we shovel a few hot embers onto the lid of dutch oven.

The real key to a nice light scone is a light touch - whether cooked in an oven or over the flames. Don't be tempted to overwork that dough, nobody likes a dense, flat scone!

Scones are the epitome of the great british afternoon tea - we absolutely love ours with our very own cherry plum jam and lashings of @libbyslarder clotted cream (possibly the best clotted cream in the world!).

Host your Christmas Party with us in the barn!

Join us this festive season for seasonally curated Feasts and seasonal activities for corporate groups of 10-36 guests.

A time of celebration and good cheer, our experiences are a little different to the bog-standard office party, here in the cosy Lambing Barn (based on the Priory Farm Estate in South Nutfield - just outside of Redhill).

Cooking up a seasonally inspired feast over fire, our menus celebrate the very finest local and wild ingredients. We guarantee a warm welcome, a seasonal tipple and plenty of food and fire in your bellies.

With many of you likely having worked from home over the past few years, it feels even more significant that you can come together to celebrate the festivities this Christmas!

Just a handful of dates remaining - head to the link in our Bio to find out more.

Venison Kimchi Fried Rice 🌶 An epic mid week

Venison Kimchi Fried Rice 🌶

An epic mid week quick and easy meal - we have a lotta love for this combo of the fermenty chilli spice of the cabbage - offset with the sweet gochujang glaze of the fallow fillet - with a crispy fried egg from our chooks for the best texture.

Add in a few leftover scraps of veggies that are crying out for some love at the bottom of your fridge - and you have yourself a mighty fine meal.

For this dish, we glazed our venison fillet with a mix of gochujang, sesame, mirin and toasted hogweed seed - the hogweed seeds lending a beautiful burnt orange flavour 💥.
