Celebrate River Cottage's 20th Anniversary with John Wright & Nick Phillips

Join us for a truly special evening as part of our River Cottage 20th Anniversary celebrations, in the company of River Cottage’s foraging experts. Mushroom maestro, and TV regular John Wright will be hosting this event alongside the talented Nick Phillips, local foraging specialist and now the lead guide for our fungi foraging courses.

Together, they will host an extraordinary foraged feast, celebrating the richness of the wild larder and the beauty of seasonal, locally sourced ingredients.

Set within our stunning 18th-century threshing barn, the evening begins with John and Nick introducing the menu, sharing their knowledge, stories, and deep connection to the landscape behind each dish. Expect a memorable dining experience shaped by the flavours of the hedgerow, woodland, and field.

‘My old friend and mushroom mentor, River Cottage foraging legend John Wright, has been with us for almost a quarter of a century, and has delighted thousands of our guests with his brilliant courses and fantastic talks. For this very special evening, he will be joined by the brilliant mushroom maestro Nick Phillips, who now leads our mushroom foraging courses. Bring with you all your foraging questions, which John and Nick will answer with amazing erudition and wit, and be ready to explore the wild and wonderful ingredients of the season in this fabulous four-course, foraged feast.’

-Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall
