This winter, for a few Saturdays only, Woodfire takes over a stunning hidden location on the ancient Firle Estate for a series of magnificent six-course feasts cooked before our guests, over fire.Inspired by a traditional British shooting lunch — but reimagined for today — this is a celebration of game, wild venison and seasonal vegetables, served in a setting of candlelight, woodsmoke and warm hospitality.
A Feast by Firelight
Fires burn inside and out, long tables glow with candles, and the scent of woodsmoke fills the air as dusk falls and a six-course sharing feast unfolds over the afternoon.
Expect pheasant, partridge and wild venison, alongside the best of the winter garden — all cooked over flame and served with the generous hospitality that Woodfire has become known for. Vegetarian and vegan menus are also available.
To drink: a complimentary welcome drink on arrival, beers from Firle's Burning Sky Brewery, a curated list of sustainable wines and our signature winter cocktails (paying bar).
Sustainability with Substance
This feast makes the most of what is available in the British countryside at this time of year. Game and responsibly-sourced wild venison; using a by-product of British country life and supporting wildlife management across the South Downs. Every ingredient tells a story of time, place and season.
