Knepp Wilding Kitchen

Food to heal the planet

Set in the heart of the UK’s pioneering rewilding project, Knepp Wilding Kitchen is a hub of community, nature and food. Our land-to-plate menu is shaped by the seasons and inspired by Knepp’s rewilding ethos.

Our Food

We celebrate the best of seasonal ingredients, from Wild Range meat grown on Knepp, organic produce from our on-site regenerative Market Garden and sustainable fish caught by day-boat on the British coast.

Our menu evolves with what’s available. Simple, unfussy food that lets good ingredients shine.

Join us for lunch seven days a week and book your table today.

“Hugely pleasurable surprise: we loved it. Charming staff… and located in a dramatic and sprawling rewilding project that’s worth the visit even if you’re not eating (hah as if).”

– Marina O’Loughlin

Lunch

Our restaurant is open for lunch seven days a week. Our menu is designed daily by our head chef, Alex Dome, whose approach to cooking is letting high-quality, homegrown ingredients speak for themselves.
