Wood Fire a Feast Over Fire’

Winter may be on its way, but outdoor dining is far from over. @woodfire_camping “A Feast Over Fire” event, available to book every Saturday, proves there’s always a reason to embrace the great outdoors

I was lucky enough to be invited to one of their Saturday afternoon experiences, a six course feast cooked entirely over an open fire, hidden away in a secret location in the Sussex countryside. It was a true celebration of flavour, firelight, and fantastic company, which we enjoyed as the sun set over a stunning rural backdrop, stunning!

Guests are welcomed with a complimentary drink before settling in for the evening, and a fully licensed bar serves local beers, carefully selected wines, and signature cocktails throughout the night. Each of the six courses, showcasing the best of Sussex game and seasonal produce (with a delicious plant-based option available) is cooked before your eyes over the flames in a beautiful barn at the foot of the South Downs. The menu was inventive and delicious with my favourite dish being the Pheasant Ravioli with the pasta rolled in front of you also and the Whole Fire Roasted Partridge was a standout dish too, with all the smokey flavours you would hope for from an open flames cooking method. The cocktails were exceptional as well with such attention to detail which made the whole experience truly memorable. The owners and staff were genuinely welcoming and clearly passionate about creating something special for every guest

If you love the warmth and atmosphere of fire cooking, this is an unmissable experience. Tickets are £85 per person and you can visit their account @woodfire_camping or their website woodfire.co.uk/food-and-feasts for more details and to book your place
