Great day out & loads to learn!
What a breath of fresh air! Didn't know quite what to expect other than something a bit different for an outdoorsy Saturday, but our foraging & cooking day with Totally Wild was fantastic. You get a good number of hours to take it all in and our guide, Alasdair, was an absolute encyclopedia of knowledge, with a great dry wit, who kept us all learning and laughing right til the end - couldn't recommended him highly enough. Fascinating array of facts and flavours, finishing with a delicious meal by the fire in beautiful scenery, topped off by the sunshine making a rare showing. We'd definitely go back and do it again! Thanks for a great day out.

Save your money, get a foraging app
Booked on the foraging course on Monday 10/04/2023. I had wanted to try foraging for ages so this was my birthday treat to me!
There were 15 in the class, not including the teacher. That was 10 people too many. The 'little' introduction took over half an hour. The rain obviously didn't help. We were standing around like soggy lemons. We each picked a leaf for teacher to identify. This took a ridiculous amount of time with 15 people. Most of the time you couldn't hear what teacher was saying. It was boring. Interest in foraging dead. We left after 2 hours. It was a highly disappointing experience. Get a foraging app, don't waste your money here, you'll enjoy the experience more and you'll probably learn more too!

Hey Cara, thanks for your feedback.
We've actually spoken to you about this over email, from what you've described this is the typical layout of our events.
We meet as a group and do introductions where we go over foraging, the law & get to know each other a little better.
We head out to learn a little more about the plants we're foraging during our walk and we ask our guests to pick plants to get to know them better.
We harvest some ingredients and head back to cook up a four course lunch - sadly it sounds like you missed out on this bit.
15 people is the maximum amount of people we have on our foraging walks, it's actually quite limited as I've seen other foragers out with groups of up to 30 and we feel that is way too many. 15 is just right with enough people to make a nice mix of conversation but no too many, so everyone has the chance to ask questions and be an integral part of the day.
We too advise downloading one of the foraging apps to help start your journey into foraging, they're a brilliant place to start but there's really nothing like heading out with a forager to really get the juices flowing. I would advise 'Seek' by Inaturalist for an App or you can use the huge plant, fungi & seaweed directory found for free on our website to help :)
Sadly the weather is out of our control and an umbrella is always advised if it's set to rain.
We always strive to create an enjoyable and informative experience for all of our participants, and we're sorry that we fell short of your expectations on this occasion. We appreciate your suggestion & Feedback.
We hope that you'll consider giving us another chance in the future to provide you with the high-quality foraging experience that we're known for.
Definitely a life enriching experience
Definitely a life enriching experience. It opened our eyes to the nutritional and medicinal properties of many common plants, and even garden "weeds", and warned us of some of the dangers of other plants. Our walks out and about will certainly be more interesting and rewarding in the future. The day was well structured but relaxed. Kelly was a brilliant forager guide who shared her immense knowledge and passion for foraging in a very engaging and interactive way. I guess she tailors her delivery according to her audience, and I found the level and balance just right. She let us sample foodstuffs she had "prepared earlier" to illustrate what could be done (with a little patience and culinary expertise) with the plants she was describing to us out in the field Then back to base for a delicious al-fresco three-course meal using "ingredients" we had all helped to forage. I couldn't recommend this event highly enough for anyone with an interest in plants, food or just walking in the countryside.

A day out Foraging with Fez
Went out with Fez on Saturday together with about 20 other people. Rv'd at Tegs Nose Country Park just East of Macclesfield. Fez was really knowlegable regarding 'Food for Free' both Wild food you can eat and those suitable for medicinal purposes as well. Expanded my basic knowledge of Wild food. Would have liked to see a bit more input on Wild Mushrooms and Fungi that you can eat. That was not Fez's fault as there was not much around. The tips on what you can add to alchol to enhance the flavour i.e. Gorse Flowers to White Rum. Little one took us for a foraging session today to practice his new learnt skills.

Excellent
Excellent. Went to Birchden Wood near Tunbridge Wells with Alastair. Really knowledgeable and engaging speaker. Cooked Risotto with the mushrooms that we had found. Could not recommend enough. Awesome day.

This is a great day out – do it!
What an absolutely fantastic, wonderful and educational day
We were met by Alistair in the car park for a quick and amusing do’s and don’ts
As we walked around the park Alistair introduced us to a number of plants, at first my appetite was whetted for the foraging life, but……. turns out not all plants are benign; some will hurt or even kill you! Sticking to the supermarket for my foraging
Amazingly most things you can forage also go well in alcoholic drink and Alistair had plenty of backhanded samples to prove it! (go on a foraging day and that will make perfect sense)
After a break it was all out foraging for our late lunch. Well, not me, I went for a sleep in the car, one thing is for sure, Alistair totally understands we are there for fun not as a punishment
Alistair prepared the food on a tree stump and cooked over an open fire. It was worth the price just to watch him do that and listen to his stories
This is a great day out – do it!

A Great and Inspiring Day Out
My husband and I were given a voucher for a Foraging Day for Two with this company. Our booking process (first choosing our venue/dates online from the many available) then contact by email. Information and updates before the day, was excellent, and even an update the day before about the closure of the public loos at the venue for a portion of the day!
On arrival (suitably clothed and equipped) at the Delamere Forest in Cheshire we were met by our foraging expert, Sam. She gave us an introductory talk, then we were off: there were, I think 15 on the course. We had a marvellous walk through the Delamere Forest, with regular stops to pick and taste the many edible plants, plus syrups and alcoholic drinks made from foraged plants, again with very helpful info from Sam - she definitely knew her stuff! A few hours later we arrived back at The Forest Centre to help prepare our three course lunch - agreed by all to be delicious!
This Foraging Day turned out to be one of our best ever Christmas gifts and we can thoroughly recommend this company, and in particular the expert, Sam. Thank you!
