Tom Hudson, fforest head chef
at fforest farm
Saturday 4th October

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.

Elliot Hashtroudi
at fforest farm
Saturday 18th October

This year, we’re opening up more weekends than ever for unique, one-off dining experiences at fforest, with guest chefs, in our beautiful Cedar Barn.

Each event is a chance to enjoy something truly special, and with limited dates and spaces, they’re likely to sell out fast.
