Foraging and Tutored Walks
The Forest of Dean and Wye Valley are all about the great outdoors so we thought
it would be nice to offer our guests a chance to go on foraging trips with local
celebrity forager Raoul Van Den Broucke. Raoul lives nearby and supplies the hotel
with local produce collected in the Forest and Wye Valley, if you have ever bought
wild mushrooms and puffballs from London’s Borough Market chances are they were picked
by Raoul.
Featured on TV’s The Wild Gourmet programme and a number newspaper and magazine articles,
Raoul is an expert in the local flora and where to find it. The crop depends on season,
location etc and ranges from a wide variety of edible and useful mushrooms, wild
garlic and sorrel, bitter cress, pennywort, wimberries, sea beat, marsh samphire,
edible flowers, wild strawberries etc.
As well as the heads down foraging customers get some time outside with the kids
and have a fun tutored walk with a local expert. Customers returning from trips can
have their collection cooked for lunch by our kitchen.
Raoul charges £100 per couple for a half day and rates for larger groups can be arranged.
Please call the hotel number... 01594 833046 for more information or to make a booking.
