Firepits, Haybales & Proper Food

Fire-led cooking from Ember, brought out into the market garden for a summer evening built around wood, smoke and seasonality.
This Roots dinner is about cooking in its most direct form. Flame, heat, char, smoke and really good produce. Ember’s style is bold and stripped back in the best way, with ingredients cooked over fire and dishes that feel made for eating outside.
The menu will be shaped around what is growing on the farm and in the market garden at the end of July. Expect vegetables with char and depth, herbs picked close by, carefully sourced meat or fish where it fits and plates that lean into smoke, texture and late-summer flavour.
This is a slightly deeper, more elemental Roots evening. Less soft and pretty, more fire, structure and warmth. The cooking will still be seasonal and considered, but with a bolder edge. It is the kind of food that works best when you can smell the smoke in the air before the first course lands.
The long tables will be set in the garden, with the fire as part of the atmosphere. As the evening draws in, the menu will move into richer flavours, with each course designed to feel grounded in the setting.
Alongside the food, Humble Grape will be pouring a paired wine flight. The wines will have a little more structure and character, chosen to work with smoke, char and deeper summer flavours. Still small producer, still low-intervention, but with enough weight to hold up to the fire-led menu.
A Roots dinner with more intensity. Smoke in the air, wine in the glass, long tables in the garden and a slower drift into night
