FOOD STUFF! FOOD & DRINK EVENTS THIS JUNE
Nothing says summer, like a cold tasty beverage and something freshly foraged or fired from the barbecue. If you too love the taste of summer, then we’ve selected six particularly flavourful events happening in Surrey for you to tuck into…
FORAGING WITH WILD FOOD / JUNE 5 + 19 / THE WOODMAN BANSTEAD
Connect with nature and head out for an educational foraging walk around the Banstead countryside. On this 2.5 hour walk, you’ll be taken for a stroll through searching for wild and edible seasonal treats to eat. Heading off at a leisurely pace around the grounds, your instructor will teach you how to safely identify the different species of edible and poisonous plants and mushrooms that you discover. End the day with a tasty Wild Food meal, including a selection of foraged homemade treats created by your instructor, and a dish made with what you have collected during the walk.
