We are delighted to invite local chef Dylan Laity and his Salt of the Earth team into our gardens and kitchens to create some wildly delicious magic for you all! At this event, he will be using special techniques to tantalise the taste buds and focus his passion on winter vegetables and foraged ingredients. It will be a journey of flavours, including influences from Asia, Europe, South Africa, and many more. The meal will be served in the beautiful Veld and Sea Glasshouse and perfectly paired with local wines.
