River Cottage Festive Feast
from £100.00
A special addition to our Christmas calendar, come and join us for an event full of the spirit of the season.
Christmas at River Cottage HQ is the celebratory finale of a bountiful year of growing, harvesting, cooking and eating. We love welcoming guests down to our farm to share the festivities with family and friends and feast on the spoils of the season.
Our iconic 17th century farmhouse and beautiful threshing barn are decked with foraged evergreen boughs, twinkling fairy lights and candles. There is a hint of woodsmoke in the air from the crackling open fire in the yurt, mingling with the heady citrus, spice and baking scents wafting out of a kitchen in full festive swing. It’s the perfect backdrop for an evening of feasting and festive cheer.
Dinner is four mouth-watering seasonal courses of our own and locally sourced, organically grown and reared produce. For this very special Christmas event, our chefs will be pulling out all the stops with a decadent menu which has been inspired by our SLOW - seasonal, local, organic, wild - ethos. We know the provenance of everything we cook with and our chefs share some of these stories once you are seated in the barn.
Come and join us and let’s raise a glass to Christmas!
