19th–21st September 2025

The wild table returns THIS SEPTEMBER

A new season. A new menu. The same magic.

This September, The Wild Table returns to the woods.

After our sold-out spring edition, The Laundry and Browning Bros are reuniting for three days of fire-led feasting beneath the trees at Teybrook Orchard. The connection we experienced at our first Wild Table blew us away, and we can’t wait to see what the second brings.

Expect bold new flavours that reflect the seasonal shift, cooked over open flames and served with wine, candlelight and good company. With glamping available on site, your bed is just a short walk away when the fire dies down.

This time, we’re embracing the colours and ingredients of early autumn. Think earthy roots, late summer fruit, and a table that celebrates everything the land gives us. As always, the menu is built around local producers and shaped by the surroundings.

Sponsored exclusively by OFYR this September, The Wild Table enables us to bring to life recipes with an element of theatricality, complementing Melanie’s passion for open-air cooking, restaurant-quality dining, and fantastic produce and producers.

Part Kiwi, Part British, Part Bistro.

Meet The Laundry

The Laundry is a Brixton-based bistro and wine shop led by New Zealand-born chef and sommelier Melanie Brown. Known for its ingredient-led dishes, seasonal cooking, and relaxed atmosphere, the restaurant has become a South London favourite for good reason.

Mel brings years of experience in both kitchens and wine cellars, with a background that spans high-end hospitality and a deep knowledge of food provenance. Her food is big on flavour, low on fuss, and always rooted in what’s fresh, local, and best in season.

For this event, she’s stepping away from the pass and cooking over fire in the woods. You’ll taste the same passion and precision you’d find at her Brixton restaurant - just with a few more trees and a lot more stars.
