Eat Well

The Grain Silo is a striking space inside and out, with a minimalist aesthetic and the metal walls rising above you, but the setting adds extra flavour. The vineyard you're staying on offers personalised tasting with their wine experts, which you can and should accompany with fine charcuterie platters.

Through the trees from the balcony of Poppy Treehouse you can see rows of vines stretching away across the fields. You're welcome to tour and taste at the Black Chalk Winery, of course, but Sunday mornings later in the year give you a chance to join a truffle hunt and rustle up some fabulous fungi.

Once you've pulled yourselves over on the chain bridge to the floating cabin known as the Raft at Chigborough, you'd be forgiven for never leaving, but the on-site smokery might tempt you back to dry land, if only to pick up some of the famous smoked salmon and set sail again for lunch.

You may be in whisky country at Baker's Bothy on a peninsula in western Scotland, but the on-site gin school is where you'll find the real action. Expert distillers guide you through the creation of your very own gin, from choosing botanicals to bottling and naming your own ruin.

There's something incredibly satisfying about living wild in a simple cabin in the Shropshire hills, and yet strolling through a couple of fields to some very fine dining. The Bivvy, a short walk from Ludlow, offers you exactly this - easy access to one of the country's great foodie destinations.

Yurts from the Mongolian plains, cheese from Switzerland. It shouldn't work this well, but it does. From your yurt on a grand Scottish estate, it's a short stroll to the BBQ hut, draped in fairy lights, where you can have a raclette feast arranged and laid on in lavish style.

Squirrel's Nest, sitting high in the Gloucestershire woods, is one for the chefs. A spectacular space inside, it saves some magic for the wild cooking options outside. The pizza oven is tempting, but to do things properly, head for the island BBQ hut and fire your imagination along with your food.

It's no surprise that the minds behind the creation of an eco village in Gloucestershire know a forager or too, but this is more than simple blackberry picking or wild garlic. You'll learn about seasonality, history and culture, from a passionate local sage.

We always recommend shopping locally when you're staying at our places, but at Two Pines the local produce comes to you. A complimentary breakfast hamper (choose from meat, veggie or vegan) will be waiting to make your first morning start with a well-sourced, artisanal feast.

At Lady Betty, lazing in the outdoor bath, steaming in the sauna and chatting to the herd of red deer over the fence might eventually make you feel a bit peckish. Fortunately, all the produce from the kitchen garden - herbs, veg, fruit - is available at the on-site honesty shop.

We spoke to Fern, of Foraged by Fern, based in Sussex. A forager and wild wanderer, Fern’s an avid outdoorsperson, wild swimming, canoeing, hiking and of course – foraging, finding delicacies in the fields, forests and shorelines of the UK wherever she goes. This week Fern showed us how easy it is to make a sweet treat, all the while finding yourself better connected to the wild world around us.

From catching your own fish for supper, to barbequing al fresco and touring local distilleries and vineyards, our spaces are a feast for the taste buds as well as the other senses. Take a look at our most delicious glamping places for foodies.

There comes a moment in almost every hike when the peak is finally in sight but still a good mile away. It’s time for a proper refuel to get you to the top. Ideally something sweet, but not too much refined sugar. Healthy would be great but you’re sick to death of bananas. That's when to reach for these little bites of energy, that have exactly what it takes to keep your feet moving.
