Fantastic feasts… and where to find them! Wild Feasts are back at Oxmoor Farm in Great Hampden, HP16 9RD, with a galaxy of star chefs booked.
Wild Feasts, the rural dinner party series, is back for another serving following sell-out summer banquets in 2022 and 2023.
Located within a renovated barn in a secluded plot of idyllic Bucks countryside, Wild Feasts is welcome 10 resident chefs throughout the year, to include emerging talent and household names. Each chef will prepare a relaxed sharing banquet for two-nights only and for 50 guests at a time, from May to December.
For the first time this year’s Wild Feasts make use of “The Barn”, Oxmoor Farm’s newly renovated indoor space with floor-to-ceiling sliding doors. Housing a series of sharing tables where guests feast on lunch or dinner at the same time, the barn’s prominent central pass allows diners to observe the chefs preparing and plating dishes, while the heated space provides total shelter in case the weather turns.
From June 1st, every weekend when Wild Feasts aren’t held The Barn is open to the public for coffee in the morning, and for dinner serving Neapolitan-style pizzas, small plates and natural wines. A discretionary £1 added to the bill will be donated to Medical Aid Palestine.
Eleanor Henson, head chef of Skye Gyngell’s Spring, wowed diners at Oxmoor Farm at the end of May. And Masterchef: The Professionals semi-finalist Michelle Trusselle shared recipes rooted in her family heritage and training in Michelin kitchens in June. Her dishes were described by Marcus Wareing as “Caribbean Royalty on a Plate”.
Sophie Godwin & Adam Bush will cook on 20th & 21st July. This chef and food writer duo behind catering and content agency Scramble LDN, draw on their experience in Michelin kitchens, private cheffing and writing for the likes of BBC Goodfood, Olive and MOB. Sophie’s debut cookbook Sundays is out now.
Former Great British Menu contestant and British Restaurant Awards Young Chef of the Year 2022 Amber Francis, will cook on 10th & 11th August. Following training at establishments including the Ritz and The Hand & Flowers, Amber was recently Head Chef at Maene and Robin Gill’s Zebra Riding Club.
Tom Cenci, co-founder of the newly opened Nessa in Soho, and Mortimer House Kitchen in Fitzrovia, will cook on 24th & 25th August. He’ll present his eclectic culinary style which draws on his time in Paris & Canada, as well as London restaurants Loyal Tavern & Noble Rot.
On September 21st & 22nd Wild Feasts will welcome food stylist and writer Kitty Coles whose debut cookbook Make More, With Less will be published in the spring. Kitty divides her time between the UK and Mallorca so expect a menu with a nod to the Mediterranean.
Cook and writer Sophie Wyburd will cook on October 19th & 20th, Amy Poon on November 9th & 10th, head chef of Marle at Heckfield Place, Fred Page on 23rd & 24th November, with Sophie Gordon on 7th & 8th December.
