This summer, Lime Wood’s Forest Kitchen is back with a series of sun-soaked, fire-led lunches set under the Cedar trees.

Each Sunday event will feature some of the UK’s most exciting chefs, cooking over open flames on the Asado wood-fired grill alongside Lime Wood’s own Angela Hartnett and Luke Holder.

Guests can expect bold, seasonal menus, smoky flavours, and a relaxed, outdoor setting - all part of a unique culinary experience that blends exceptional ingredients with the theatre of live-fire cooking.

Here’s what’s on the Forest Kitchen lineup

June 8 – Grape, Fire and Feast

Angela Hartnett, Luke Holder and the HH&Co team launch the series with a menu inspired by Italy and cooked over smoking vines. A true celebration of Mediterranean flavours and summer hospitality.

Small Contribution. Big Impact.

The Staff Canteen has always been more than a website—it’s a community, built by and for hospitality. We share the wins, the challenges, the graft, and the inspiration that keeps kitchens alive.

We believe in staying open to everyone, but creating this content takes real resources. If you’ve ever found value here—whether it’s a recipe, an interview, or a laugh when you needed it most—consider giving just £3 to keep it going.

A little from you keeps this space free for all. Let’s keep lifting the industry, together.
