LEARN TO COOK DARK AGE CUISINE AND FEAST LIKE A LORD IN OUR SAXON HALL!

You’ve heard of Beowulf, but do you know what he ate? Have you ever tried sweet Saxon bread, acorn coffee, or beer poached salmon? What about split pea pottage, nettle and wild garlic soup, or meadowsweet mead? Join us at the farm to cook and enjoy a Saxon feast only a stone’s throw away from the site where, over a thousand years ago, real Saxons sat round their own fire and did the same.

Under the expert guidance of Craig Brooks, author of cookbook Eat Like a Viking!, you’ll discover the ingredients used in Saxon cuisine, prepare them using historic tools, and learn to cook over an open fire. In the fitting setting of our Saxon hall, you’ll create some of the oldest and most enduring recipes in our culture, from butter and cheese to flatbread and sausages, and before you know it, you’ll be eating like King Alfred the Great!

Please contact  admin@butserancientfarm.co.uk if you have any dietary requirements and we will do everything we can to accommodate you.

£85 per person. Includes entrance to the farm, a full day’s tuition and expertise, and all the tools and ingredients necessary to cook a delicious Saxon meal.
