Imagine stepping onto a crisp winter’s day, greeted by twinkling fairy lights and wreaths adorning rustic barns. The air is filled with the fresh scent of the outdoors as you wander through a festive farm decorated with holly and seasonal greenery. Experience all this with our Farm to Table festive feast. Then, settle in to enjoy a six course Christmas meal at River Cottage, crafted from the freshest seasonal ingredients lovingly harvested from our kitchen garden, farm, polytunnels, and trusted local partners.
Dine in our stunning 18th century threshing barn, warmly decorated for the festive season. Here, our chefs will introduce each dish and share the stories behind them. Each course showcases the very best seasonal, local, organic, and festive produce.
We follow the SLOW ethos, Seasonal, Local, Organic, and Wild, ensuring every bite bursts with Christmas cheer and flavour.
See a sample menu here, but please note that every experience is unique and shaped by the seasons. Our menus are created on the morning of the event, using the freshest ingredients available.
