The Exmoor Food Safari explores the journey from park to plate in the friendly and welcoming surroundings of The Culbone, Exmoor National Park’s highest inn. Overlooking Lorna Doone Valley the location provides a bountiful natural larder where the team’s commitment to local produce has already won them several awards. Held over a weekend Saturday is Catch it, Cook it, Eat it day – with a trip to Bellbrook Fishery to learn how to fly fish and catch local trout for dinner. Later on Head Chef Jack Scarterfield will deliver a master class in cooking with fish, using the fish caught earlier for one of the courses. On Sunday guests will see life through the eyes of Exmoor Farmer Simon David at Big Red Cow who farms his herd of Ruby Red Devon Cattle on the National Trust Holincote Estate. Later, guests return to The Culbone’s new Cookery School for a master class in cooking beef.
