Had a great day foraging with Fez in Delamere Forest. He is so knowledgeable about what you can do with the leaves, fruit and fungi in the wild. An amazing meal was cooked to use the food that we had foraged. Would definitely recommend this experience day.

We loved our foraging experience with Kristopher from the start to finish and couldn't wait to tell our family and friends about it! Kristopher was very knowledgeable about everything he taught us, as well as being able to answer any questions the group had. Being able to taste things on route and then cook with what we had foraged that day was truly wonderful. The food that we cooked/had cooked for us was exceptional and it has certainly inspired us to go out foraging ourselves and cook with our finds! Our group loved the rosehip and chilli sauce in particular. A great group of people, a fantastic foraging guide and an all round brilliant day out.

Thoroughly enjoyable day with forager Al at Buckland Park. Very knowledgeable. Interesting, informative and hands on. 6 hours well spent in the Surrey countryside with a taste of the proceeds at the end of the day

I attended the foraging and cooking course on Saturday 26th July at Buckland Lake Park.

I would have to disagree with the review from Kaye Kaur and I am quite surprised at her review as she was very engaged for the whole day and seemed like she enjoyed herself!

We were told ahead of time on the email that our meal would be served at 3pm - so the meal being late was not a shock as we were informed before the day.
A quote from the email: “ Should you feel the need for snacks please feel free to bring them. We do provide a small taster around midday and then lunch is usually served around 3pm”

My friend and I brought snacks and we prepared for a late lunch :)

Al was really friendly and so enthusiastic about foraging you could really tell that this is his passion. I came away learning some great things and I will definitely be trying to make my own wild tea! As well I came away learning some plants to definitely avoid!

When it came to the meal at 3pm my friend and I helped Al prepare the coleslaw and other members of the group helped prepare the dessert. There was plenty of food to go around the whole group I even had seconds! We had wild garlic pesto pasta with oyster mushrooms and for dessert we had a cherry plum and blackberry crumble.

I would definitely recommend this experience and it has really encouraged me to start foraging myself!

Definitely worth the money as the skills I have learnt are so valuable.

Thanks so much Al!

Everything was great to begin with but the food very late and non existent. I expected an edible plate of food and perhaps a drink and it wasn't forthcoming so I left. It was terrible!! For £70 you expect a plate of food if it is promised in the price. I have been to foraging walks costing £20 and had snacks include which were better than this. I do expect a full refund. This was a terrible experience and totally put me offer going on a foraging walk for ever. I think Al needs to be better organised and needs a helper to get the food ready in time.

We had a wonderful day out at Buckland Park Lake in Surrey. Our forager Al was great and keen to impart his knowledge about the plants and how we could use them. It was also great fun chopping up the firewood and veggies for the meal at the end which was lovely and Al was even able to accommodate my food intolerances. I would recommend this for someone wanting to do something a bit different.

What a great day ! Our guide Al delivered so much knowledge with great entertainment and character. It's amazing what is out there. Pre-event information was very informative and the day was organised and timed really well. I'd recommend this day to anyone with an interest in nature and history.

Al was knowledgable and we enjoyed the walk around the forest in the sun. However, there was an incident early on when he deliberately stung me on the back of my hand, for a joke which was a nasty shock and still hurt hours later. Moreover, I found the fact he laughed, mocked me and continued to make me feel terrible about the inflicted sting, difficult to comprehend.

This, in combination of being told to eat another nettle, which stung my mouth and fingers, was very painful and upsetting. This was a horrible experience and I thought about leaving and asking for my money back. However, I didn’t want to leave my friend. I think most people in this situation would have done that.

What a great day at Summer's Pond, Horsham foraging through ancient woodlands. Our guide, from Totally Wild, Al, was extremely knowledgeable and created a really interactive and hands-on experience. Our lunch of pasta with woodland herb pesto was amazing. A thoroughly enjoyable day, thank you.

This foraging experience was fantastic and far more than I expected!

Fez was an extremely knowledgeable, friendly guy who taught us the basics of foraging and how to identify various plants, flowers and mushrooms. He also had so many great stories to tell along the way.

At the end he set up his outdoor kitchen and provided us with a 4 course meal cooked using the foods we had foraged that afternoon! Very tasty and looked great!

Fantastic day would highly recommend!

I am finding it difficult to write this review as I don't really know what we were expecting. We were with Brooke at Cannock Chase. He is an interesting chap and we spent the first 30 minutes listening to his somewhat unusual life history. I think this was to give context to how he has worked foraging into his own life. He then asked us to introduce ourselves, which is fine and offer a personal embarrassing story. I think he wanted us to do this to break the ice. We then were offered a break to go to the loo and get a coffee so didn't get underway until 11a.m
Brooke has amazing knowledge and clearly is fully engaged in foraging and using what he finds in his daily life. He puts an enormous amount into his talks. This part was thoroughly engaging and enjoyable and educational.
At 1.50 we arrived at the place we were to lunch and we took the opportunity to have a drink and our own snacks whilst Brooke went off to get our lunch organised. We then spent 2 hours whilst lunch was prepared and eaten just mostly chatting amongst ourselves with a few stories from Brooke along the way. We had picked sorrell, nettles and beautiful tiny raspberries to include in the cooking. I was hoping this was going to be the highlight of the day with some inspirational dishes to enjoy although I appreciate preparing food in the restrictive circumstances was always going to be difficult.
Our lunch consisted of a cracker with chimchurri ready prepared elsewhere using some foraged ingredients which was actually delicious. We then had a green salad which Brooke prepared and included the sorrell and a lovely fresh pickle. Following that there was pasta with a pesto also prepared elsewhere but including several foraged ingredients including wild garlic. For dessert there was a strange mix up of broken biscuit, an odd cream like topping from a carton, some fruity sauce prepared elsewhere and our little raspberries. I think I was hoping for some real inspiration and whilst the food was tasty and included some foraged ingredients I can provide just as interesting dishes with ingredients grown in my back garden with much less effort. So whilst the day was highly educational and interesting I don't think foraging will be high on my list of how to cook dinner this week. But then perhaps next time we are out walking and I see some wild garlic I might just take some home!

Fez was a great guide with a refreshing character and sense of humour. Every plant, tree, mushroom we came across he was able to tell us a story about. Often it was followed with a great knowledge about its usefulness in the wild and the often multiple uses it has. I would definitely recommend the course to anyone interested in bushcraft, foraging and living from the land. Absolutely brilliant!

What a fab day with so much learnt. Our forager Matt was brilliant. He was very relaxed, professional and friendly and happily answered our dozens of questions. He cooked up a great 3 course meal too!
Our venue at Oxwick Farm, Wickwar was interesting with lots going on and it's somewhere I'd like to return to for another event.
I came away from the day having had the best of experiences.

I attended a foraging course in Brandon Country Park which exceeded my expectations. I was bought a voucher for my birthday as a gift. As one of a group of 16 people, the day was thoroughly enjoyable. Aaron who lead the group was extremely knowledgeable and made the day go without a hitch. I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in foraging

Our leader Chris was so up on his subject that he made the day truly eventful.
His knowledge was boundless and I love listening to people who know what they are imparting to others.
A day that I will never forget and i will carry on foraging forever.

This experience did exceed my expectations. I got this for my husbands birthday, I wasn’t overly bothered about foraging but went along to accompany him. I thoroughly enjoyed it and learnt so much. We went to the Swinsty Foraging event hosted by Kris. The event was engaging, interactive, and very interesting. We had a good down pour of rain, so be prepared for the weather. I would highly recommend.

The foraging day exceeded our expectations. Beth who led the day was extremely accomplished in describing the foods we found which gave us confidence to try some foraging. She was able to tell us some historical and folklore information which added extra relish to the day. The samples we were able to try were a bonus too . A fantastic day

Had an incredible day of foraging with Kelly, who was super knowledgeable and lovely! We learnt loads about how to identify plants and what to use them for, then cooked a delicious 3 course meal as a group. Such a great experience, highly recommend :)

Our guide Lucy was amazing, very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. A brilliant way to spend the day in the sunshine at Buckland Park and eat our findings over lunch. Would highly recommend

Our guide Mo was so knowledgeable, her enthusiasm and love of nature were contagious. A very enjoyable day indeed and I experienced none of the issues spoken about in the 1 star reviews. When I booked the event I had imagined that we would be doing the cooking ourselves. We did contribute to chopping some veg though and Mo did the lion's share of the food prep. Would recommend this to people who are used to being outdoors and on your feet for prolonged periods.
