That’s why we’re incredibly excited to be teaming up with filmmaker and wild food forager, Tom Radford, for a unique foraging walk in heart of the English countryside, followed by a two-course lunch inspired by your fresh pickings at THE PIG-in the Cotswolds.
This hands-on, helpful course is perfect for those curious about what’s in season and where to start with your surroundings to find delicious, hidden gems that can be enjoyed straight from field to fork.
On this foraging adventure, Tom will help you identify what’s edible (and what’s not!), what’s medicinal and what can even be used as ingredients in soaps and cosmetics. You will you get a fascinating insight into your foraged fare as you walk, while Tom will share the folklore surrounding wild plants and mushrooms, as well as the landscape and history of the area – so you can really connect your fresh pickings with the past.
