Food Safari specialises in gourmet food experiences in Suffolk that go one or two steps beyond a traditional cookery school.
We run events and workshops that take you behind the scenes of some of Suffolk's best food and drink producers in many cases combining farm walks and tours with hands-on butchery classes and cookery courses Suffolk. Each day culminates in a feast, usually featuring the fruits of your day whether that's game, wild food or seafood.
On a Food Safari you will meet dedicated and inspiring producers like Pinneys of Orford (oysters and smoked fish), the Wild Meat Company (game), and Blythburgh Free Range Pork. You will hear the fascinating stories behind these products, see how they are produced, and even get your hands dirty skinning a rabbit, making sausages or making cheese. See our Events page for full details.
