A Seasonal Feast with Hugh
from £195.00
Join Hugh in our beautiful 18th century threshing barn for a fantastic four-course feast that showcases the finest produce of the season.
Hugh will join you for a welcome drink and canapes in the yurt or cookery school (depending on the weather), where he will be happy to sign books, and have pictures taken with you. (A selection of Hugh’s books are always on sale but you are welcome to bring yours with you as well.)
You will then take your seats in the barn for a short talk from Hugh about the joys of the season and what is happening in the world of River Cottage. There will be time for you to ask Hugh questions, before he introduces the menu for the evening, highlighting the provenance of key ingredients. The River Cottage team will then serve your feast.
Hugh will return to the dining room (usually before your main course) to catch up with you before saying a final goodnight.
Tickets for this exclusive evening include a welcome drink with two canapes, a four-course meal, plus coffee and home-made petit fours.
With only 40 tickets available to ensure everyone gets some time with Hugh, this very special seasonal event has limited dates throughout the year. Hosted personally by Hugh and centered around a fantastic seasonal meal planned by Hugh and the team, it is served in the beautiful River Cottage barn.
