Fed from The Salt Marsh, An Immersive Wild Food Experience with Chefs Oli Martin & Matt Willdigg

Step into the world of outdoor nomadic fine dining, where the salt marshes become your dining room and the unique backdrop of Morecambe Bay your view. You’ll be served a feasting menu prepared on the fire by Oli Martin and Matt Willdigg who will craft each dish with inspiration directly from the salt marshes and surrounds of Morecambe Bay, ensuring a one-of-a-kind experience for your senses.

As you arrive, we’ll pour you a coastal cocktail and you'll enjoy some welcome snacks.

Joining us at the table will be Stuart and Caroline Lawson who graze their sheep right here on the salt marshes and whose salt marsh lamb we'll be enjoying on the menu, slow-cooked over the fire. 

Let the sounds of the coastal breeze carry with acoustic string instruments being played alongside the ethereal symphony of curlews and Oystercatchers filling the air.

This is a journey into the heart of nature's larder where we celebrate the Lancashire coastline, British agriculture and wild ingredients.

What’s special about the salt marshes and Morecambe Bay

This unique landscape is full of shoreline ingredients, the combination of intertidal salt marshes and mud flats makes for very fertile fishing and farming as well as a haven for coastal birds and other wildlife who call Morecambe Bay home.

Morecambe Bay is marked as a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and an SSSi with the largest intertidal area in the UK. This is also where we call home,  we love our area and can’t wait to share all of what it has to offer in this one-of-a-kind immersive dining experience.
