This summer for the first time, we’re inviting some of the UK’s most exciting chefs to take over the Culpeper rooftop grill.
Once a month, a new chef will host a communal sunset dinner on our woodland rooftop with a 4-course menu inspired by seasonal produce grown on our farm and the rooftop. For the rest of the month, one of their dishes will remain on our rooftop menu as a wonderful souvenir of their time with us. We kickedoff our series in June with Ivan Tisdall-Downes. Founder of Green Michelin Star restaurant Native and Field Notes, self-taught chef Ivan’s cooking is shaped by a commitment to sustainability, particularly through ethical, environmentally conscious use of game and wild ingredients. Finally, to finish this brilliant summer in style, we're welcoming Ned Burrell, head chef and director of Knepp Wilding Kitchen on the beautiful Knepp Estate. The estate is of Europe's most significant rewilding projects, and Ned's cooking takes endless inspiration from the thriving natural envrionment around him. Expect plenty of organically grown treats from the estate on the menu.
Guests will join us on the rooftop to enjoy the early evening sun, and begin with a custom welcome cocktail designed by Ivan. Then take their place on our long communal table under the silver birch trees, where dishes are shared between friends old and new. We will be serving drinks pairings, as well as offering our greenhouse private dining room as a Chef’s Table experience for groups of 8-10.
