Elliot HasHTroudi
& the Camille team

Saturday 18th October 2025 7pm - £55.00 - 4 courses

We’re delighted to welcome Elliot Hashtroudi and some of his team from London’s acclaimed restaurant Camille to fforest farm this summer. With a focus on French nose-to-tail cooking, Camille has earned a reputation for bold, thoughtful food that celebrates whole-animal eating, seasonality, and the convivial spirit of the French bistro.

Elliot and his small team will join us at the Cedar Barn for a unique evening of food and wine. Together they’ll present a special menu built around French traditions of nose-to-tail eating, paired with a carefully chosen wine list that reflects Camille’s vibrant and unpretentious style.

This event is part of our guest chef series at fforest farm, bringing celebrated chefs and restaurants to Wales to share their craft, spark conversation, and gather people around the table in the spirit of hospitality.

Tom Hudson
fforest Head Chef

Saturday 4th October 2025
6-8pm - £34.50pp - 3 courses

We’re proud to celebrate our own Head Chef, Tom Hudson, at fforest farm this autumn. Before joining us, Tom cooked at Tommy Banks’ Abbey Inn and spent many years in Helsinki, where he honed his love for seasonality and inventive techniques.

Now at fforest, Tom is steering our restaurant ever closer to Welsh traditions. Often found poring over old Welsh cookery books, he draws inspiration from deeply rooted methods and flavours, blending them with modern but humble techniques. The result is food that feels both timeless and fresh, grounded in the land around us.

The gardeners love his passion for using absolutely everything they grow in the gardens, fields and hedgerows. Nothing is wasted and everything is celebrated.

On Saturday 4th October, we invite you to join us at the Pub and Lodge area. Bookings between 6-8pm.
