Location: North East

Join a Totally Wild UK professional forager to learn the art of foraging and to discover the vast range of wild edibles lying all around us before enjoying a delicious wild food meal. 

WHAT TO EXPECT

To begin, we will go through the basics of foraging, how Totally Wild got started and some of the best practices we’ve found along the way.

We will then head out on our walk to discover what exciting wild foods are growing nearby from flowers to fruits, fungi, seaweeds & tubers – there’s plenty to find. We run our courses throughout the year so you can experience the changing habitats and plants through the different seasons. 

During the foraging event, your professional forager will introduce you to a vast number of edible species; giving you tips on harvesting, correct identification and possible look-alikes as well as a huge range of cooking ideas.

You will have an opportunity to taste a range of pre-made wild food tasters from syrups, flavoured salts and alcohol infusions.

AFTER OUR FORAGING WALK

We’ll cook up a 3-course lunch utilising wild and foraged ingredients. 

In the past we’ve created:

• Wild risotto
• Wild noodle salad
• Wild beans and dips
• Dandelion root coffee pancakes with birch syrup
• Elderflower cheesecake
• Wild eton mess
• Tapenades & pates

These dishes might change with seasonal availability but will always be deliciously wild.

Most of our food is vegan friendly, but if you need something specific please let us know should you have any other dietary requirements (there’s space for this information during the checkout process). Our chefs are well versed in cooking for specific dietary requirements.

FOLLOWING THE EVENT

You’ll be sent an email detailing everything you found on the day, along with some tips on harvesting and uses.

Join a Totally Wild UK professional forager to learn the art of foraging and to discover the vast range of wild edibles lying all around us before enjoying a delicious wild food meal. 

WHAT TO EXPECT

To begin, we will go through the basics of foraging, how Totally Wild got started and some of the best practices we’ve found along the way.

We will then head out on our walk to discover what exciting wild foods are growing nearby from flowers to fruits, fungi, seaweeds & tubers – there’s plenty to find. We run our courses throughout the year so you can experience the changing habitats and plants through the different seasons. 

During the foraging event, your professional forager will introduce you to a vast number of edible species; giving you tips on harvesting, correct identification and possible look-alikes as well as a huge range of cooking ideas.

You will have an opportunity to taste a range of pre-made wild food tasters from syrups, flavoured salts and alcohol infusions.

AFTER OUR FORAGING WALK

We’ll cook up a 3-course lunch utilising wild and foraged ingredients. 

In the past we’ve created:

• Wild risotto
• Wild noodle salad
• Wild beans and dips
• Dandelion root coffee pancakes with birch syrup
• Elderflower cheesecake
• Wild eton mess
• Tapenades & pates

These dishes might change with seasonal availability but will always be deliciously wild.

Most of our food is vegan friendly, but if you need something specific please let us know should you have any other dietary requirements (there’s space for this information during the checkout process). Our chefs are well versed in cooking for specific dietary requirements.

FOLLOWING THE EVENT

You’ll be sent an email detailing everything you found on the day, along with some tips on harvesting and how to use wild food in everyday life. 

WHAT TO BRING

Ultimately bring along anything you feel necessary for a day outdoors. We will be outside for the majority of the course during rain or shine. We do advise the following items:

• Suitable clothing for the predicted weather (an umbrella if it’s predicted rain)
• Sturdy footwear. Walking boots are highly recommended. 
• A drink – some wild flavours may be strong and water is always advised for a days foraging
• Snacks should you feel the need for them during the foraging walk. Lunch is usually served around 3pm. There is a snack midway on the walk provided.
• A pad or paper should you wish to take notes
• A blanket or chair for the meal. We usually have a covered seating area at our venues, but sometimes these aren’t available and the ground or logs are the next best thing!
