Farm Dinners with Forest

Farm Dinners is an outdoor pop-up dining experience at Kelmarna Gardens, inviting our favourite chefs to celebrate the bounty of our land.

Bringing you closer to your food, Farm Dinners turns food miles into food metres.

We can't wait to welcome Forest back to Kelmarna for another four incredible summer evenings. This time the team will be popping up and taking over for four nights in a row to do more astounding things with the plants we grow, and which grow around us.

Drawing on the seasonal harvest from the garden and the forest, the 4-course set menu will be inspired by Kelmarna's produce, both farmed and foraged, with other ingredients sourced locally and sustainably. A carefully created and selected drinks list will be available to complement the menu.

About Forest:

Forest is a small vegetarian restaurant located in Eden Terrace. With a focus on running the restaurant in an environmentally respectful way, we serve a set menu, and take bookings only. This helps us prepare exactly the right amount of food every time, which minimises the waste we create. 

Sourcing our ingredients locally is very important to us. Understanding not only where our food comes from, but the work and processes that go into growing it, creates a connection that drives us to respect every part of the ingredient. Our menu always features elements from Kelmarna, whether they're fresh or preserved from a previous season, and we can't wait to serve dinner at their place again!
