"After many years working for big corporations I set up my own consultancy business and wrote a book, The Haynes BBQ Manual that is available in over 75 countries. Since then I have self published “Essential BBQ Herbs & Spices” exclusively available on Amazon and created a range of BBQ rubs called “BBQ Buddy” with Flavour King for whom I am their Brand Ambassador. I advise several National companies and regularly write for the media, working continuously on projects for the Masterchefs of Great Britain and the Seafish Industry Authority. My favourite item to barbecue is fish, because you can char-grill, steam in foil, wrap in salted vine leaves or cook on wood (planking) – the options are endless! Mackerel and sardines work really well, all you need are fresh herbs, oil and flavours and the end taste is fantastic."

The search for wild food resources
Guided walks are around the festival site in a small group. They last around 45 minutes to 1hour. It's no problem for walks to be pushchair or wheelchair friendly.
What exactly IS a foraging walk? It's an easy stroll, suitable for all ages and abilities (including children), taking in the many varieties of plants and fungi that are edible, medicinal or which can even be used for cosmetic purposes. In addition, our foragers are experts on garden plants which can also be eaten. These taster walks are a real eye-opener; you'll see your surroundings in a completely different light, even in such a short space of time.
Join one of the UK's only accredited foragers from Totally Wild UK to learn the amazing art of foraging through the UK's hedgerows, woodlands and flower meadows. During your family friendly and foody inspired walk you will be shown a range of wild edible plants, how to find them, identify them safely, harvest them and turn them in to truly outstanding dishes. whilst on the walk you will be able to try a range of premade wild food tasters from jams to syrups, cordials and salts.
