Why not take a look at what people are saying about Taste the Wild
“Dear Chris, Rose and not forgetting Lydia,
Thank you very much for an absolutely fantastic day. Despite the heads up from yourselves that the mushrooms may not be about we found some. Your hospitality and professionalism was without a doubt second to none and I have learnt so much in a very friendly and informative atmosphere. And the food well what can I say hats off to the chef this was just what the doctor ordered.
...thank you for a great day, great food and above all great company.”
Stuart - October 2011
“Just a note to say thank you for a wonderful weekend! It was not only informative but such fun. You looked after us so well - we were really spoilt!
Hopefully we will be able to join you again on your coastal weekend.”
Alison - October 2011
“First of all, a huge thanks for such a brilliant weekend. Calum and I had a really fun, eye opening and never to be forgotten couple of days. And then there was the food! Can't wait for this weekend to come so I can over in the forest and have a good forage!”
Angie - September 2011
“Thanks so much from all the team - yesterday was a great success and several of them have appeared in the office this morning with their willow sculptures to show their colleagues. We all had a fabulous time and the prizes are all on display in the office kitchen area!
Many thanks to you and all your team for their hard work in making yesterday such a success for us.”
Lisa - Buying Group - September 2011
“Dear Chris, can’t thank you enough for a fantastic day at Swinton Park yesterday. It really was the best day. A morning foraging and identifying mushrooms, which I have always wanted to do, followed by a 4 course gastronomic meal, which, as a gastronaut, is one of my passions, is hard to top. You’ve set the bar high for any future days out.”
Robert - Autumn 2011
“Hi Chris, I hope you have recovered from last week and got back ok on Thursday. Many thanks to you for the foraging element of the treasure hunt – it was so refreshing to have a new aspect to the TH and our main client said it was his favourite element of the afternoon. It was great working with you and nothing seemed to be a problem!
Boden we’re extremely happy with the event and called it a ‘triumph’. We’re looking forward to hopefully working with you in the near future.”
Alison - Eventuality Events - August 2011
“Just a line to say thanks so much for a great weekend. The whole experience was amazing and so difficult to put in words how much enjoyment has been really experienced. The foraging and culinary delights provided taste and flavour sensations that have left my taste buds and me very happy. Here's to eyes on the ground for foraging delights.
Many Thanks and look forward to meeting you both again on future courses.”
Tracy Lenihan - July 2011
“Thank you so much for a wonderful few days on your coastal foraging course. It was delivered by you both with such enthusiasm and passion which were very infectious. Thank you also for the delicious food. We’ll certainly get practising!”
Ellie & Stewart - Summer 2011
“A quick e-mail to thank you both for such an interesting day on Saturday. We were a bit worried about what to expect from the day, but it turned out to be very friendly, informative and tasty! (particularly the end of day tasting session). Now we have started to look out for free food we can’t believe just how much there is literally right on our doorstep. Hope to see you both again before too long; having enjoyed ourselves so much we’ve now got our eyes on the course at Staithes.”
Allan & Pat - June 2011
“Just to say a big thank you for last weekend. I thoroughly enjoyed the course, your hospitality and the company of all of your other guests. What a great bunch of people and how easy it was to get on with everyone. In particular I felt I'd known the two of you for ages.”
Dave - May 2011
“If you like great food, a brilliant environment, superb instruction and a fun filled awesome weekend then read on:
Just got back from the wild food weekend and I have to say it's the best course I have ever been on and I’ve done a few. From the moment I arrived you made me feel really relaxed and welcome and opened my eyes to just what's on my front doorstep! I can't say enough about the quality, passion and knowledge that both yourself and rose showed throughout the weekend from when we went foraging our food through to the cooking demonstrations.
The food itself was out of this world and i can't wait for the new 'wild garlic' season to begin. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone with a love of the outdoors believe me you will not be disappointed. I am really looking forward to learning more on the 2011 coastal foraging course; it can't come round soon enough.”
Derek - 2010
“May I take this opportunity to thank you once again for all your help and expertise in last weeks filming for BBC Country Tracks. It was great to meet you and the sushi was delicious!”
Caroline - 2010
“The Wild food weekend is by far the best course that I have been on and trust me I've been on a few courses in my time. Great location and you could not wish to meet better people then Chris and Rose who know what their talking about. Having done other courses with other people, I have not gone back on a course with the same provider twice. However I enjoyed the Wild food weekend that much I intend to and will be booking other courses with Chris and Rose. If you like wild food, then do the Wild food weekend, you can't go wrong.”
Richard - 2010
“Thank you both very much for making my 60th birthday so memorable. The day appealed equally to both young and old. Your enthusiasm was infectious and the day passed so quickly. We can now all make bread, gut and smoke trout and skin and joint a rabbit. The day exceeded all our expectations and that says it all.”
David - 2010
“Learn to be at one with nature, eat thistles. Rediscover the inner child, go bush for the weekend.”
Kevin Rushby - The Guardian - 2010
