River Cottage Festive Feast (lunch)
from £70.00
A special addition to our Christmas calendar, come and join us for a family 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. So come and join us for a Festive Feast and see River Cottage in all its wintery daylight glory and enjoy three mouth-watering courses of seasonal delights.
You’ll be welcomed to the farm with a glass of something brewed, steeped or sparkly to warm yourself with in our cosy yurt or to take with you on a wander around the iconic River Cottage Kitchen Garden. Lunch will be served in our beautiful threshing barn decked with Christmassy creations and natural decorations, and introduced by your head chef. Sit back, relax and enjoy three-courses of flavoursome festive fare. We know the provenance of every ingredient we cook and our chefs will share some of these stories and guide you through our SLOW - seasonal, local, organic and wild - ethos and how this is reflected in the menu.
Come and join us, gather your friends and family, and let’s raise a glass to Christmas!
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.
