“Keep it Wild”: Forage and feast
Throughout the day, you’ll learn about how and why we’re obsessed at THE PIGs with homegrown, wild ingredients to make our signature dishes. You’ll wander the patch we call home to find the best in season pickings, enjoy a freshly foraged lunch prepared by THE PIG team in the heart of nature, and ask questions with the best in the field. Here's all you need to know...
Kitchen Garden Tours at THE PIGs
Every day at 11am, our gardeners will be hosting a Kitchen Garden tours across all our PIGs*. Dig a little deeper into THE PIG’s plot to plate ethos with a peek into our polytunnels, greenhouses, veg patches and raised beds. Open to guests and day visitors alike – why not stay for a delicious lunch afterwards too?
