This site is a SSSI, with good reason, so we do not pick or collect any plants here, but it’s a phenomenal place to learn. No toilets onsite Parking Children welcome (please note that one child under 12 is welcome to attend per ticketed adult, but we do not cater separately for children on our Forage and Cook events, so you be sharing your lunch!)

Event Details

Get ready for an adventure with a Totally Wild UK professional forager on our Forage and Cookery Course in Devon! Join us on a journey to learn about the hidden world of wild edibles that surrounds us. And that’s not all! Enjoy a delicious wild food meal that will inspire you to pick up your foraging basket for your next adventure.

What to Expect on the Forage and Cookery Course in Devon

The foraging experience will last approximately 5-6 hours, giving you ample time to learn about foraging, explore the area, and enjoy a wild food meal!

During the day, you’ll have the opportunity to sample an assortment of pre-made wild food items, including syrups, flavored salts, and alcohol infusions. These wild treats will give you a sneak peek into the incredible flavors that nature has to offer.

Following the foraging expedition, you can opt to participate in a communal cooking session, creating dishes that are inspired by the season and that celebrate the bounty of nature.

Past meals have included dishes like:

** Wild Garlic and Dehydrated Mushroom Fresh Rolls

** Elderflower Eton Mess

** Dandelion and Dulse Rice Noodle Salad

** Dandelion Root Crumb, Meadowsweet Cream & Birch Sap Syrup

After the event, you will receive an email detailing everything you foraged during the day, including harvesting tips, edibility and the best ways to get these tantilising ingredients into your everyday diets. The email will also include recipes from the lunch you enjoyed, so you can recreate the magic at home!
