Farm Feast Supper with Earth and Soul Kitchens
On Saturday, we were lucky enough to host the most beautiful rustic farm feast in collaboration with the wonderful Nina Peters at Earth & Soul in St Columb Major and honestly, if you missed this one, you really missed out.
The evening started off for a couple of the diners with an oil infused workshop with Alamayah from Radically Rooted Care before sitting down to feast.
Every guest got to taste everything on the menu, regardless of the pre orders, no-one missed out, it was just one long table of sharing plates. Swallows swooped overhead, the cows watched from the next field, and the warm evening air made it feel extra special, alfresco dining, done right.
The food was a real celebration of the season’s bounty. From fresh, zingy starters and charred greens to generous platters of BBQ'd Cornish Sardines, free-range Chicken glazed with Elderflower, and vibrant veggie dishes, every mouthful was a reminder of how good simple, seasonal cooking can be.
Here’s what Nina served up:

Heirloom Tomato & Strawberry Salad with balsamic and basil
Charred Asparagus with lemon-hazelnut dukkha and chive oil

It was one of those evenings you wish you could bottle up. Good food, good people, and that golden countryside glow that makes you so grateful to live in Cornwall.
Nina, thank you for pouring so much love and care onto those plates. It was a truly unforgettable evening.
