What will we be doing?
Join me and Nikki for a guided foraging walk, followed by a 4 course meal, plus a cheeky cocktail. Showcasing all things wild at Chaplins.
We’ll be taking you on a walk around the Bournemouth suburb of Boscombe, touching on both urban and coastal foraging goodies. Expect some tasty treats along the way!
From there we’ll be making our way back to Chaplins where we’ll be greeted by Rebecca Bird, who specialises in foraged and sustainable cocktails. She’ll be whipping up a foraged drink with non-alcoholic versions available.
Then we’ll be taking you on a foraged culinary journey visiting the meadows, ocean, forest and suburbia.

The small stuff...
The price of this menu does include a welcome cocktail, but further drinks are purchasable at the venue.
The event is spaced in two large tables to make it as inclusive and fun as possible.
The walk is slow paced, navigating mainly paved terrain. Bring weather appropriate clothing and some comfortable shoes.
Feel free to bring along your camera, notepad and pen to take notes.
A photographer will be documenting this event. If you disagree with your photos being used for promotional purposes then please let us know after booking.
