The Ultimate Wild Mushroom Feast at River Cottage

Join Nick Phillips, renowned forager and local mushroom grower, for a fungi-filled six-course feast at River Cottage. The menu, crafted by Nick and our talented chef team, celebrates the best seasonal ingredients from our kitchen garden and the surrounding fields and woodlands.

You’ll enjoy six courses featuring the finest local and seasonal produce, showcasing the best that the wilderness has to offer.

TO FINISH

After the meal, feel free to take a leisurely stroll back up the hill to walk off your indulgent supper. For those who prefer, we’re happy to offer a ride in one of our farm Land Rovers.
