Celebrate River Cottage's 20th Anniversary with Doug McMaster

Join us for a special evening with world-renowned zero-waste chef Doug McMaster, back at River Cottage for a feast full of creativity and flavour.

Transforming offcuts, trimmings, and foraged ingredients into something extraordinary, this is cooking that challenges expectations while delivering incredible flavour.

Hosted in our beautiful 18th-century threshing barn, Doug will introduce the menu and share the inspiration and techniques behind each course.

‘Doug McMaster is one of the most remarkable and talented chefs I have ever met. At Silo, his extraordinary commitment to Zero Waste cooking has been a huge inspiration to me and to many other chefs. He sets a standard in sustainable hospitality for the rest of us who care about such things to aspire to. All that aside, what strikes you when you get a plate of Doug’s food is not just the thoughtful and thrifty provenance of his ingredients, but his playful, punchy ways with flavours and his lovely presentation. I’m so thrilled he’s coming back to River Cottage, and I know this will be an unforgettable feast.’

– Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall

ARRIVE

You’ll be met at the top of the hill and begin your River Cottage experience with a 10-15 minute walk through the wonderful pathways down to the farm, so you can enjoy the stunning views of the valley. A Land Rover lift is available in poor weather and for those with mobility issues.

WELCOME

Head to the courtyard where you'll be greeted by our team, then have a wander around our kitchen garden before taking your seats in our threshing barn.

CHEF'S INTRODUCTION

As you settle in, Doug will introduce the menu, sharing the ideas and philosophy behind the feast, and how each dish is created from offcuts, foraged ingredients, and inventive techniques.

MAIN EVENT

Across five courses, expect bold, unique dishes that make the most of every ingredient, revealing just how creative low-waste cooking can be.

TO FINISH

At the end of service feel free to take a stroll back up the hill to walk off the indulgent supper or if you prefer, we can happily give you a ride in one of our farm Land Rovers.

DRINKS

We source our drinks as carefully as our food. After enjoying a welcome drink on us, our extensive drinks list will be available for you with orders taken from the table throughout the evening. This includes our own River Cottage range of organic Wine, Ciders, Beers, and Kombuchas, and a carefully curated wine list of mostly organic and biodynamic wines. There’s always a seasonal cocktail or two on offer as well. If you want some direction from our team, we can help you pair drinks perfectly with the days’ menu. Do ask them when they come around to take your drinks orders.
