Orchard Harvest Dinner
Wednesday 22nd October
Tickets are now available for a special evening with Jane Scotter (Heckfield Home Farm), Lucie Swiestowska (Ham Street Wines), and Peter Crawford (The Naughton Cider Company) celebrating the year’s main harvest.
After many years in the making, the orchard at Heckfield Home Farm has come into its own this season, offering a generous harvest that forms the heart of our next Growers’ Dinner.
For over a decade, Jane Scotter’s biodynamic partnership at Fern Verrow has shaped the rhythm of Spring’s kitchen. Now, as Head Grower at Heckfield, Jane’s collaboration with Skye has evolved to embrace a new landscape — one that this year has flourished with pears, plums, and an exceptional abundance of English heritage apples.
This Orchard Harvest Dinner will honour these fruits, paired with English cider and biodynamic wines from Ham Street Wines. We are delighted that winemaker Lucie Swiestowska, co-founder of Ham Street, will join Jane for the evening. Farming just outside Romney Marsh, Lucie and her husband Jules have transformed their vineyard through regenerative and biodynamic practices, prioritising soil health and working with the rhythm of the seasons to craft wines of character and vitality.
Together, Jane and Lucie will reflect on this year’s growing cycle — from the extremes of summer’s drought to the relief of autumn’s rains — and how the season has shaped both the orchard and the harvest in glass.
An evening of fruit, cider, wine and conversation, rooted in land and season.
Tickets are £140, which includes a four-course menu paired with two glasses of wine, and two glasses of cider.
Our Growers’ Dinners are designed to encourage conversation between our hosts and guests. Both individual and group bookings may be seated at communal tables. If you wish to be seated with a specific party, please email [email protected] to specify and we will do our best to accommodate.
