Still dreaming of this woodland feast celebrating the season’s best late Summer produce cooked over fire by the epic @melwinebrown at the magical setting of @browningbros farm. The Dedham Vale tomahawks were chefs kiss!

I really noticed the change of season from last time - dusk settling much earlier and a definite chill to the night air, but I loved it just as much 🍽️🍂✨🪵🍷

The Wild Table is back next Spring, already with a huge waitlist!

Fine I will tell you - this is how you’re going to fallmaxx to your full potential.

The Wild Table by The Brixton Laundry is THE PERFECT overnight stay/experience just outside of London. It is a stripped back, back to nature, fire fuelled feast in the woods that will have all your friends pinging you on instagram and asking you where you at. I would do some grafting though as rumour has it there are over 12,000 on the waiting list for next year’s Spring series.

The event is hosted at the Browning Bros which is a fifth general organic farm in Essex. It’s a beautiful events space and if you book yourself into an overnight stay you get a great selection of tents/yurts and also a cooked breakfast to soak up all that alcohol before you are sent home the next day.

Last week we had dinner in the woods, and it was one of the most magical experiences we’ve had to date.

This is a beautifully curated dinner by @melwinebrown at @browningbros & @teybrookfarm. We wandered the 20 acres of woodland and had the most delicious flambéed garlic prawns before finding our seat in the fairytale-like setting.

With wood-fire at the heart of it all, we got cosy with a glass of wine, and as fire normally does… it made us open up. Within a couple of hours, we went from being seated next to complete strangers to feeling like we connected and shared stories with people we would never have met if it wasn’t for this experience.

And then there was the whopping 5-course dinner (6 if we count the amazing Mini Hokey Pokey Bombe Alaska)… all of it surrounded by trees, with soft music playing in the background, before we eventually moved over to the bar and were rewarded with live folk music.

We finished off our drinks while listening to the music and slowly got ready to join the real world… it did feel like we were in our little bubble and disconnected from it all for a few hours.

Really can’t put into words what a special night it was… if you want to experience it for yourself, you can now join the waitlist for their Spring edition!! 🪵👩🏻‍🍳🔥

Some meals are about far more than what arrives on the plate.

The Wild Table grew from Mel’s vision of bringing people together outside, gathering around open fires, cooking in nature and sharing good food around a table. Having now experienced it, I think what @melwinebrown has created goes much further than that.

There is something about spending an afternoon in the woods that naturally changes the pace of things, and @browningbros have the most tranquil setting. Nowhere else you particularly need to be, you watch the food being cooked over fire, talk to the people around you, wait for the next dish to arrive and gradually become part of everything happening around you.

And the food was exceptional.

Course after course cooked on a @ofyr_uk fire, using local and seasonal ingredients with some seriously good cooking behind it. Flambéed garlic prawns, focaccia, huge sharing plates, Dedham Vale tomahawk and finally a chocolate dessert of dreams.

The service was brilliant, warm, relaxed and incredibly personal. And eating at long, family-style tables with people we had only just met turned out to be one of the loveliest parts of the afternoon. Plates were passed around, conversations started and by the end it felt much more like a gathering than simply going somewhere for lunch.

A rather special afternoon in the woods.

✨ Yesterday, I had the pleasure of experiencing The Wild Table at Orchard @teybrookfarm and what an unforgettable evening it was! 🌿🔥

From the welcome cocktails and delicious canapés to the woodland setting and incredible open-fire cooking, every detail was thoughtfully curated.

Chef @melwinebrown truly brought the magic of nature to the plate, showcasing beautiful, fresh ingredients and bold flavours. A dining experience that connected food, fire and the great outdoors. 🤍

Thank you for such a wonderful evening! 🌲✨

Fire-cooked food in the forest, locally sourced ingredients, and honestly one of the best nights we’ve had in a long time. 🔥

@melwinebrown x @brixtonlaundry Wild Table pop-up at @browningbros was next level. Woodland tables of eight, a walk to an appetiser stop, outrageously good tomahawk steak, with the gooiest skillet brownie to finish all cooked entirely over fire. Plus a petit four of an Alaska Bomb which we toasted ourselves to round everything off.

Throw in the excellent company and zero parenting logistics, and this one earns a proper spot on my grid, not just stories!

I posted this on my stories and so many of you asked me where it was, so here you go…

The Wild Table in Essex 🌿

You know how much I love gardening, so eating seasonal, locally grown produce is definitely my thing right now — especially at harvest time.

It’s set in the woods at @browningbros, about an hour from London, with @melwinebrown cooking everything outdoors over a fire pit. Seasonal ingredients, beautiful plates,flowers,long tables under the trees and that amazing smell of food cooking over an open fire.

A proper dreamy experience 🍄

Ps , happy birthday @emsmullane 🫶🏽
