Roots Dining Experience returns to Tewinbury Farm with farm-to-fork feasts and guest chef events

Farm-to-fork dinner series, Roots Dining Experience, will return to Tewinbury Farm in Hertfordshire this summer, offering a programme of communal dining events that showcase local, seasonal produce. The series, led by Michelin-trained chef Lee Maycock, will run from 4^th July to 12^th September 2025, with a range of themed evenings and guest chef collaborations taking place on the 700-acre farm, located approximately 30 minutes from London.

The events will be held outdoors, with guests dining at long communal tables situated within the farm’s vegetable patch. The menus – featuring dishes like Half the Garden Hummus with baby carrots, Tewinbury Beef Brisket with warm potato salad and Beetroot Brownies – will be built around ingredients grown just metres from where diners are seated, with additional produce sourced from local suppliers. The series aims to create a relaxed atmosphere, meaningful connections, and beautifully prepared dishes that honour the land they come from.

Among the highlights of the 2025 series are two exclusive chef takeovers. On Saturday, 12^th July, Lee Westcott, known for his work at Pensons and Typing Room and his modern approach to British cuisine, will curate a one-night-only menu. On Friday, 12^th September, Francesco Mattana will bring a vibrant Italian twist to the table. Other events include a zero-waste dinner on 4^th July, a wine pairing evening with Humble Grape on 26^th July, and an Italian Spritz-themed night on 30^th August.

The Roots Dining Experience is hosted in partnership with Tewin Greens, the farm’s vegetable-growing initiative for the local community. The events are open to the public, with ticket prices ranging from £49 to £98 per person, depending on the evening. Accommodation is available on-site at Tewinbury Farm, a family- and dog-friendly luxury hotel. The property counts on various food and drinks outlets: Granary Kitchen, Cowshed Restaurant and the Stable Bar.
