You’ll wander the patch we call home to find the best in season pickings, enjoy a freshly foraged lunch prepared by THE PIG team in the heart of nature, and ask questions with the best in the field. Here's all you need to know...

What to expect on the October workshop?

Arrive at 11am at THE PIG-at Bridge Place where you’ll meet Miles and your fellow foragers. Spend the morning picking across the patch we call home, where Miles will teach you everything he knows about the wild, edible treats growing around us – some of which, you may not know even existed! He’ll share his best tips for knowing what to look for and where, and how best to use your foraged fayres when you get home.

After you’ve worked up an appetite, you’ll tuck into a rustic and hearty “Keep it Wild” lunch in the great outdoors, packed full of freshly foraged, local ingredients and prepared by our PIG team. Afterwards, you’ll keep wandering into local woodlands, which is just a short drive away, and while away the autumn afternoon picking a higgledy-piggledy mix of seasonal mushrooms. If you haven't popped to see us in a car, we can give up to 6 people a lift in our Land Rover

In the evening at 7pm, head down to the restaurant at THE PIG-at Bridge Place, for a three-course dinner cooked by our Head Chef Andy and hosted by Miles Irving. You’ll be knees up with your fellow foragers, swapping stories of the day’s finds as you dine together at our big chef tables to the side of the restaurant. The menu will be packed full of locally foraged and homegrown goodies from wild fish to game dishes.

When you’re ready to turn in for the night, check in to your cosy and characterful Hop Pickers' Huts, nestled in the water meadows away from the main house and set along a boardwalk. You’ll find lots of rustic reclaimed textures, a cosy log burner and a super-king bed so comfy you won’t want to leave (did we mention the large bathtub in the bedroom?).

Wake up in the morning to a full, hearty PIG breakfast in the main restaurant where you can dig into our PIG grazing breakfast tables, pick something hot (or tuck into both!)
