The Exmoor Food Fest turns 10 in February 2025, and we’ll be marking the start of the 100-day-countdown with an exclusive dinner at the beautiful and recently refurbished Croydon Hall near Minehead.
There are only a limited number of tickets left, so better be quick to avoid missing out on what’s going to be a truly unique event.
10 outstanding local chefs are going to vow our guests with 10 amazing courses throughout a very special evening.
Chefs confirmed so far:
Miguel Tenreiro (Porlock Weir Hotel)
Ellis Pannell (Pyne Arms)
Luke Nunn (Podshavers Barn)
Joe Roach (Farmers Arms Combe Florey)
Olivier Certain (Bittescombe Inn)
Sophie Rogers (Bicknoller Inn)
Jack (The Swan, Bampton)
We are excited to also showcase one of the students from West Somerset College, Lucy Bowden, who took part in the launch of the very first Exmoor Food Fest in 2014 and now runs her own in kitchen at a venue in Cornwall.
It has just been confirmed that students from Foxes Hotel will be joining us as well – they are in charge of the pre-dessert and they will also assist with Front of House!
There are only a couple of tables left. Get your tickets here:
“Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more” – a walk out to the breach on Bossington Beach / Porlock Marsh last evening – a collection of drone and ground shots. I love the layering along the coast at sunset when there’s a bit of haze.
“Onwards using the new route up from the beach to Culbone Church. Through an English rainforest. We are so lucky here on Exmoor to have such places. Return to central Porlock. 8 miles round trip.”
