Friday Night Feast
from £70.00
Give the weekend a warm welcome at River Cottage, with a Friday night dinner unlike any other in our restored barn.
Friday Night Supper at River Cottage HQ is a magical way to start your weekend. Join us for a communal feast in our 18th century threshing barn to share and celebrate the very best local, seasonal and sustainable produce.
Collected by tractor at the top of the hill you will be transported down the track to our 65 acre farm nestled in the Axe Valley, complete with farmhouse, barns, livestock and produce gardens. Before dinner, enjoy a local tipple or seasonal cocktail and relax in front of an open fire in the cosy yurt or explore our abundant kitchen garden.
Once you are settled in our beautifully restored barn, our Head Chef will give the story behind the four courses being served. We are internationally renowned for creating an exciting set menu which constantly changes to reflect the seasonality and availability of ingredients. We love incorporating the latest recipes we are working on as well as firm River Cottage favourites.
The garden and land team liaise closely with the kitchen team to grow, nurture and harvest the produce for our events. Anything additional we need is sourced from our excellent neighbour suppliers including Trill, Pipers and Haye Farms. In fact two of these farms are so local to us we can see them from our back step. As you would expect our menu is always inspired by what has been caught, foraged and whatever we may have a delicious glut of.
The drinks list includes our own ale, cider and Elderflower Sparkling as well as some local icons like Somerset Cider Brandy and the effervescent Castlewood Sparkling from the vineyard over the brow of the hill. At the end of the night the tractor will be on hand to take you back up the hill.
We are passionate about what we do so we hope you leave us with great memories of your evening and maybe a little food or garden inspiration too.
