Long Table Lunch

from £56.00

Gather your loved ones and join us at River Cottage for a lunch embracing the best of the season.

Our lunches are leisurely affairs, featuring three courses of the season's finest food, set against the breathtaking backdrop of River Cottage HQ. So come, relax and explore the idyllic surroundings and enjoy a delicious lunch fresh from the River Cottage kitchen with your friends and family. 

There are no menus*, our chefs make the most of the season’s produce, harvesting directly from the abundant walled kitchen garden and plundering the spoils of the polytunnels. They create a daily three course menu that incorporates the most delicious dishes from the homegrown and local seasonal ingredients available.

Before your meal begins, our chef will explain what is being served, a little bit about where the food came from and how it has been prepared. All you need to do is sit back and soak up the atmosphere.

We welcome children of all ages to our lunches at River Cottage, with reduced-price tickets for under-10s. Please purchase an adult ticket for children aged 10 and over. If you have a little one and would like a highchair please let us know, even if they are not eating.  Please note, that whilst this is a family friendly event we have a limited number of children's tickets available per each date.

*We will endeavour to allow for any dietary requirements you may have, just make sure you let us know when booking.

We kindly request you book for your entire party in one transaction so we can seat you together.

  • Long Table Lunch

    More than lunch it’s an event. The description of the food preparation before service was very good and made the dishes more enjoyable. Excellent lunch.
