Head back to nature with this fantastic Foraging, Cookery and Lunch for Two with Totally Wild. You and a fellow adventurer will join a professional forager to learn basics of foraging and wild food, before cooking up your very own wild food lunch.
In this engaging 6 hour course you’ll learn the rules of general foraging and identify a range of wild ingredients including discovering what exciting foods lie amongst us. You’ll sample plenty of delicious tasters, from chutneys and jams to salt pickles and syrups.
After the walk you'll cook up a three-course lunch utilising wild and foraged ingredients. In the past creations have included Wild Risotto, Elderflower Cheesecake and Wild Eton Mess, before recapping on the session and everything you’ve learnt.

What about the weather?
Totally Wild don't believe in bad weather, just bad clothing choices. Courses will be cancelled in wind speeds above 60mph, if your booking is cancelled an alternative date will be offered.
What should I wear?
Ultimately bring along anything you feel necessary for a day outdoors. We will be outside for the majority of the course during rain or shine. We do advise the following items:
- Suitable clothing for the predicted weather (an umbrella if it’s predicted rain)
- Sturdy footwear. Walking boots are highly recommended.
- A drink – some wild flavours may be strong and water is always advised for a days foraging
- Snacks should you feel the need for them during the foraging walk. Lunch is usually served around 15.00. There is a snack midway on the walk provided.
- A pad or paper should you wish to take notes
- A blanket or chair for the meal. We usually have a covered seating area at our venues, but sometimes these aren’t available and the ground or logs are the next best thing!
What about insurance?
The centres contracted with us hold public liability insurance. We also hold contingency liability cover. You will not be liable for accidental damage to equipment, except where damage has been caused as a result of recklessness or wilful negligence.
Please ensure you are familiar with the terms and conditions of the experience.
