Ivan Tisdall-Downes x Knepp Wilding Kitchen
From 6pm Thursday 4 September 2025

Join us for a truly special evening at Knepp Wilding Kitchen as acclaimed guest chef Ivan Tisdall-Downes brings his pioneering approach to wild and sustainable cooking for a one-night-only collaboration.

Ivan will create a seasonally inspired 4-course menu using produce from the Knepp Estate and other like-minded producers, celebrating the richness of the land and the principles of rewilding. Expect bold, thoughtful cooking rooted in sustainability and a deep respect for nature.

Your evening begins with a glass of bubbles on arrival, followed by four beautifully crafted courses. An optional wine pairing (£40) will be available, featuring organic and minimal intervention wines carefully selected to complement each dish.
