Celebrate River Cottage's 20th Anniversary with Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Friends

Join us for the grand finale of our River Cottage 20th Anniversary feast series, hosted by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall alongside our close friends of River Cottage – Gill Meller, John Wright, and Rachel de Thample. Together they will create a unique feast inspired by their shared passions for foraging, fermenting, and cooking over fire.

You will dine in our stunning 18th-century threshing barn, where Hugh and his fellow hosts will introduce the menu and share stories from two remarkable decades at River Cottage HQ. Each dish celebrates exceptional fresh, seasonal produce and reflects our SLOW ethos of championing all that is Seasonal, Local, Organic and Wild.

‘Please join me for the final feast of our celebratory series marking an amazing 20 years of River Cottage HQ. I’ll be hosting the evening and talking about River Cottage down the years alongside three of my legendary fellow travellers – Gill Meller, John Wright and Rachel de Thample. Together we’ll create a menu that explores our shared passions for foraging, fermenting and fire-based feasting, and we’ll be delighted to share our stories and answer your questions throughout the evening.’

Is this event suitable for me? We can accommodate some food intolerances and allergies at our dining events, providing that these are mentioned when you make your reservation. Dietary accommodations we can make include those for vegan, vegetarian or pescatarian diets, those who are pregnant, and those with dairy, gluten, nut or shellfish allergies (we recommend you bring your epi pen). However, we cannot cater to dislikes, or to any dietary restrictions that we feel may compromise our ethos or high standard of our menus. If in doubt, please email us before you book: events@rivercottage.net

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

Hugh, alongside Gill, John and Rachel, will introduce the menu and share the inspiration behind the feast, the provenance of the ingredients, and how the dishes have been prepared.

MAIN EVENT

You’ll be treated to a four course feast of fantastic local and seasonal produce, much of it produced on our farm, planned to showcase the freshest and the best.

TO FINISH

At the end of the feast, 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.
