Wonderful Forage & Nibble session with Jim at Holker Hall. The variety of mushrooms we found was amazing and he was so knowledgable and interesting. We even had chance to "taste" a poisonous mushroom, under supervision of course. It was a truly immersive experience and at the end Jim cooked us up 3 different types of wild mushroom served on his home baked sourdough bread with homemade wild garlic pesto and damson ketchup topped with dried wire weed...delicious. Highly recommended, we will be going on further sessions and brilliant gift also.

Just had a fabulous day at Holker Hall foraging with Jim. He is knowledgeable and fun making this a great course for ‘would be’ foragers. We will definitely be signing up for another session very soon.BTW , Holker Hall is well worth a visit if you haven’t been .

Jim was very knowledgeable and made it a fun learning experience !
Would definitely recommend, thank you !

I bought my wife a couple of vouchers at Christmas. The first she tried to use was down in Folkestone, an hours drive. No one turned up. The first she knew was when I looked on the website and it said cancelled. Apparently “she should have got an email’, but no email was received. She’s taken tomorrow off work to go to one in Eltham only to be told at 4.55 tonight by email that it’s cancelled tomorrow. She’s livid.

Like their unique products. Straightforward ordering.

I bought 2 gift vouchers and had a query about booking. The company replied quickly and informatively, and the vouchers were delivered in 3 days. Very good service.Thanks Forage box.

The Foraging Workshop in the Forest of Bowland was both educational and fun. The meal at the end was delicious and full of things we’d never imagined eating. Jim was a great animator, well prepared, full of information, kept up the tempo but very happy to answer questions. Well worth it. Strongly recommended.

Great few hours with Jim who has a wealth of knowledge on all things foraging and I found it even more interesting than expected. Look forward to learning more about foraging following this, and hopefully finding a few more hen of the woods.

We had a brilliant time foraging greens and mushrooms with Jim in Grizedale Forest. He was enthusiastic and knowledgeable and we had a delicious forest-cooked snack. A great way to spend 3 hours whilst on holiday, thank you so much!

Had a great time on the Forage and Feast event in the Forest of Bowland yesterday led by Jim. It was a very enjoyable 5 hours. Would highly recommend it, learnt a lot about what is growing in ours woods that I normally just walk past. Give it a go you won’t be disappointed.

have just enjoyed a forage and feast experience with a small group of 8 people by Jim, an amazing 5hrs in the Forest of Bowland. Delivering new interesting information and facts, not a dull moment and lots of ideas to take away - I will never curse a nettle again. If in doubt about giving it a try just do it, you wont be disappointed well worth the money.

Alex was really great. He had so much knowledge on foraging and had us all munching as soon as the day started. After a fabulous stroll round The Fold in Bransford, Worcestershire we were then amazed at the 3 course meal he created why we all sipped on some lovely homemade wine and forage nibbles. Really an amazing experience of what foraging is all about. Thank you Alex

Order arrived in great time.thanks

Did a 3 hour Forage and Nibble walk in Lancaster with Jim. Great knowledge, I've been on a few foraging walks and this was by far the best. We looked at a wide range of plants, berries, fruit and fungi. Being shown a safe way to taste fungi. The mantra, Never Munch on a Hunch. Knowledge is power and life saving. Hoping to do another Forage Box walk soon, hopefully a coastal one next time. Highly recommend.

Eddie who led our course in Chartham,Kent was very knowledgeable and obviously passionate about the subject of foraging for edible things as we walked along the river path.
He made the course interesting and pleasurable, especially at the end when he gave us delicious food containing foraged things. The dandelion root coffee was great!
I hope to do another course sometime soon.
Thanks Eddie!

Bought 2 x voucher for my friends' birthday, which took 5 days to post?! Even though it could also be sent digitally? Why such a delay?!

My husband and I spent the morning foraging with Claire at cobtree manor. Clair was very knowledgeable and engaging. We've never foraged before and we have just been on an evening work and identified hawthorn, yarrow, sloes and elderberries. It was great fun! Highly recommend.

What an amazing introduction to foraging we had with Claire at Cobtree Manor today (August 16th 2025)!
A fun, informative and very interactive dive into nature's pharmacy & kitchen! Great knowledge shared and knowledge given in a simple yet engaging way. We'd highly recommend and are already looking at what other offerings Claire provides. Thanks so much.

What a wonderful and informative day, Jim is remarkably informed with regard to the natural world. Everyday plants were given a comprehensive breakdown on its value as a food, with not an e-number in site. Would highly recommend.

Booked a Forage and Feast experience and was amazed about the variety of things that we found within a short distance of Keswick town centre.
Lots of deep knowledge shared by Tom and the gourmet packed lunches with added ingredients foraged and cooked on site was brilliant.
