Oxmoor Farm team extends opening hours as it eyes permanent restaurant

Located on a plot of Buckinghamshire countryside 30 miles from London, Oxmoor Farm plays host to rural dinner party series Wild Feasts at Oxmoor Farm, which will welcome 10 resident chefs throughout 2024. 

Each chef will prepare a relaxed sharing banquet to run across two nights for 50 guests at a time, with residencies taking place from May to December.

From 1 June, every weekend when Wild Feasts aren’t being held The Barn will be open to the public for coffee in the morning, and for dinner serving Neapolitan-style pizzas, small plates and natural wines.

As before, guests dining in the warmer months will have dinner al fresco.

Wild Feasts at Oxmoor were created by friends Paddy Maynard and Harry Hope-Morley in 2022 to highlight the quality of the produce available in the surrounding area, the importance of regenerative farming and the beauty of the Chiltern Hills.

Maynard has held senior ops roles at Soho House, while Hope-Morley’s family owns the farm. 

The chef residencies and opening of The Barn precede the pair’s plans to establish a permanent restaurant on the farmland next year.  

Great British Menu contestant and British Restaurant Awards Young Chef of the Year 2022 Amber Francis, will open the 2024 season with a residency on 4 and 5 May.

The other chefs set to cook at the farm this year include Eleanor Henson, Michelle Trusselle, Tom Cenci, Kitty Coles, Amy Poon and Fred Page.
