River Cottage HQ

River Cottage HQ

In 1998 Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall created a place which based its principles on self-sufficiency, food integrity, and the consumption of local, seasonal produce, the result is River Cottage.

Today River Cottage HQ continues to uphold these principles and as well as running some superb courses, including foraging and bread making you can now get married there.

Set in 65 acres on the Devon and Dorset border, you could not be surrounded by more beautiful scenery and coupled with the fantastic produce on site, it really does make for a truly special venue.

We are very proud to be one of River Cottage's preferred marquee suppliers, not only because we think the tipis will look fantastic on the farm but also because of our shared values.

River cottage is committed to ethical business practice, it will only form links with organisations who practice similar standards. This is why we are so proud to be connected to River Cottage.
