I regularly pass on my knowledge of edible wild mushrooms at certain times of the year when the woods are abundant with fungus. This is usually in late April/early May and in the autumn - but I am also keeping these events all through the year, (apart from festival time). Though wild food might be in short supply at some times, people are always guaranteed an interesting walk with good food and wine afterwards!

Walks in the woods last for about two hours and all the good edible mushrooms are collected.

Less desirable mushrooms are identified and discussed.

The group, of ideally 12-15 people, then head for my kitchen (or back garden on a good day) to sort through and prepare the harvest which is then eaten with other dishes and excellent wines to accompany..

The prices for this day are £20 per head and £10 for under 18's. Walks take place on Sundays, but midweek walks can be arranged, and the price for these will be by negotiation.

See the broadcast page for clips of radio and video regarding my mushroom walks.

I enjoy regular holidays in France where I visit Burgundy and Sancerre, Italy where I visit Chianti Rufina and in Australia where I visit the Hunter Valley in New South Wales.

I have built up a considerable cellar and I am happy to discuss wines at any time, whether to accompany my meals or simply winetasting.
