The Cook’s Long Lunch
A Guided Harvest and a Show in the Kitchen
The ultimate gathering for groups who love great food and conversation, The Cook's Long Lunch is offered exclusively for your group. Explore the gardens on a guided forage, then watch our chefs work their magic with a cooking demonstration, before settling in for a long, relaxed seasonal lunch — the gardens, the kitchen and the table all to yourselves.
Unlike Forage & Feast, where your harvest disappears straight into the kitchen, here you'll get a front-row seat to the whole process — watching techniques, flavour pairings and a seasonal menu come together right in front of you, before joining together at the table to enjoy it.
Perfect for groups of up to 24, The Cook's Long Lunch suits celebrations, retreats and gatherings where great food and great conversation go hand in hand.
Prefer a quieter, more contemplative pace without the demonstration? Explore Forage & Feast instead.
