COOKING WITH FIRE - CHESHIRE - 10/04/27
As spring returns to the land, we begin another season of COOKING WITH FIRE in the Cheshire countryside. Returning to my roots in the North of England, this experience celebrates some of my favourite spring wild ingredients, seasonal produce sourced from the local area and traditional cooking techniques.
Our day begins with a guided foraging walk along the riverbank, gathering wild garlic and exploring the abundance of wild edibles beginning to emerge at this time of year. From here, we’ll make our way into the woodland, where our tipi camp sits tucked away amongst the trees.
During the experience, we’ll introduce you to some of our signature dishes from the spring FIRE + WILD menu, breaking down the ingredients, techniques and methods behind each course as we cook together over the fire.
The experience culminates in a shared meal, bringing together everything we’ve prepared throughout the day. Food is cooked entirely over fire and served as a generous, communal feast, accompanied by thoughtfully paired wines and wild cocktails.
Reconnect with wild food, fire and traditional skills in a beautiful outdoor setting. This event takes place in a private woodland near Altrincham, Cheshire — around 20 minutes from Manchester. Further details and FAQS can be found below.
We’ll teach you the basics - wood selection, axe skills and temperature control - and how to manage and maintain a fire for cooking. Learn how to prepare game birds, fish or locally sourced meat ready for cooking over the fire.
With a central cooking fire burning at its centre throughout the day, the tipi offers a warm, dry place to gather and eat, should the inevitable April showers make an appearance.
The event starts at 11am and finishes at 4pm. Participants will need to make their own way to the meeting point (car park). Free onsite parking is provided. The full address and travel advice will be provided after booking. Not suitable for under 18s.
