The Wild Table May 2026

The Wild Table: Chapter Three

A Woodland Restaurant by The Laundry and Browning Bros.
Browning Bros. Tey Brook Orchard, Essex | 15–17 May 2026

Following two sell-out events, The Wild Table is returning for its third chapter, celebrating the height of the English spring. The Laundry and Browning Bros. are once again transforming Tey Brook Orchard into a temporary woodland restaurant for one magical weekend.

Join us for an unforgettable sensory journey - where fire, flavour, and nature converge. This May, the menu will be a bold expression of the season's renewal: crisp, vibrant ingredients and young produce, all kissed by the open flame.

The connection we experienced at our previous feasts was extraordinary, and we can’t wait to welcome guests, new and returning, to slow down and share a table under the blossoming canopy.

The Experience
The Wild Table is a full culinary and atmospheric journey:

• The Arrival: Your adventure begins with a seasonal welcome cocktail in hand (non-alcoholic available) before you are led on a short forest walk to a secluded glade.
• The Gathering: Enjoy conversation and canapés served among the trees, setting the intimate, off-grid atmosphere.
• The Feast: Take your seat at the shared woodland table for a multi-course feasting menu. Chef Melanie Brown uses her passion for open-air cooking on the OFYR to create bold, uncomplicated dishes from produce often grown just metres away.
• The Setting: Dining takes place beneath the trees of Tey Brook Orchard. We have carefully curated a wine list to perfectly complement the flame-kissed, local flavours. (Don't worry, if the English weather surprises us, we’ll have you covered!)
