Summer Nights
from £70.00
Unwind and enjoy those long summer nights, with a special evening of seasonal food at River Cottage
River Cottage HQ is beautiful all year round but it is truly magical throughout the summer months. The farm is the perfect place to bask in the glow of the setting sun, relishing warm, lazy dinners in our courtyard or 17th century threshing barn, depending on the weather.
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 four course menu that incorporates the most delicious dishes from the homegrown and local summer ingredients available.
This is an ideal event to share with your family and friends, from the tractor ride down the hill to a stroll around HQ, exploring the farm and enjoying views of the stunning Axe Valley as the sun goes down. Once you are seated dinner is introduced by your chef for the evening before you eat, drink and relax, leaving with a happy summer memory to recall in the depths of winter.
Children of all ages are very welcome to our Summer Lunches at River Cottage, with £15 tickets for under-12s.
Are you coming with a group of 10 or more? Did you know we offer private dining packages?
