The Woodland Dining Club
Our Ethos
About Us
At The Woodland Dining Club, every offering follows the same guiding principles: a love of wild food, a deep respect for the land, and a desire to bring people together around the fire.
This is about proper food, cooked simply and shared with others. No fancy fluff, just real ingredients, full flavour, and a chance to get closer to where your food comes from.
Experiences
Max Moore started The Woodland Dining Club to bring people back to the basics — fire, food, and the outdoors. Whether you’re stalking a deer at first light, tucking into a fire-cooked venison haunch with mates, or learning how to butcher and cook wild game, the idea’s the same: respect the animal, use every bit, and make it taste amazing.
Wild Food & Fire-Cooked Feasting
Bring the wild to your table — or take your table to the wild.
Whether in your own garden or deep in the woods, these experiences are all about gathering around fire and food. From private chef evenings to full field-to-fork days, expect seasonal menus, flame-cooked dishes, and deep connection through shared meals.
