The Wild Table, As Seen In The Times, The Nudge and Beyond
Some restaurants are made for white tablecloths. Some are made for low lighting, polished floors and the gentle hum of the city outside.
And then there is The Wild Table.
A long table in the woods. Smoke curling through the trees. Food cooked over open fire. Glasses passed around as the evening slows down and the outside world starts to feel very far away.
Created by The Laundry x Browning Bros, The Wild Table is our off-grid woodland dining experience, bringing together seasonal cooking, fire, nature, wine, and the kind of long-table hospitality that feels less like a restaurant booking and more like something you will talk about for years.
This is The Laundry, just with more woodsmoke.
A Woodland Restaurant, Just Outside London
Set on Browning Bros’ fifth-generation organic farm, The Wild Table is a pop-up restaurant in the middle of the woods, around an hour from London.
Guests arrive in the countryside, step away from the noise, and settle into a woodland setting built for slow afternoons, generous cooking and proper conversation.
There are no stiff menus. No city rush. No need to pretend you are “just popping in for one”.
Instead, there is open-fire feasting, seasonal produce, long tables, good wine and a setting that does half the work before the first plate even lands.
The idea is simple. Take the warmth, energy and hospitality of The Laundry in Brixton, move it into the woods, and let fire, nature and time do the rest.
Farm-To-Fire Feasting
At the heart of The Wild Table is food cooked properly, outside, over fire.
This is not outdoor dining as a gimmick. It is slower, smokier and more elemental than that. Seasonal ingredients meet woodsmoke, flame and a kitchen team that understands how to make simple things feel memorable.
Expect bold, generous cooking. Expect dishes that feel rooted in the land around you. Expect the kind of meal where people lean in, pass plates, ask questions, pour another glass and forget to check the time.
It is farm-to-fire feasting with low ego and high reward.
Why Wild Dining Is Having A Moment
There is a reason people are starting to look beyond traditional restaurant walls.
Sometimes, the best table is not in a dining room. Sometimes, it is in a clearing, under trees, with the smell of smoke in the air and the evening stretching out ahead of you.
The Wild Table taps into exactly that. It gives guests the pleasure of a restaurant experience, but strips away the parts that can feel too formal. What is left is the good bit, great food, good drink, a beautiful setting and people gathered around one table.
It is still hospitality. It is still considered. It is still properly run.
It just happens to come with trees.
The Press Has Been Paying Attention
The Wild Table has not exactly stayed quiet.
The experience has been featured by some of London’s leading food, culture and lifestyle titles, with press coverage recognising both the beauty of the setting and the growing appetite for wild dining experiences.
The Nudge London described The Wild Table by The Laundry x Browning Bros as “a pop up restaurant in the middle of the woods”, calling it an “unspeakably beautiful pop-up woodland restaurant”. The feature also noted how quickly previous dates had sold out, with final tickets moving fast.
The Times also spotlighted The Wild Table in a wider piece on why people are ditching traditional restaurants for wild dining experiences. The article highlighted The Laundry in Brixton running Wild Table events over the summer, inviting guests to an Essex orchard for “open-fire feasting and connection”.
Between national coverage, London food press and consecutive sell-out dates, The Wild Table has become more than a one-off supper. It has become one of those rare experiences that feels genuinely different.
Not loud. Not forced. Just quietly brilliant.
A Different Kind Of Laundry Experience
For anyone who knows The Laundry in Brixton, The Wild Table still feels familiar.
There is the same relaxed confidence. The same love of generous food and good drinks. The same feeling that hospitality should be warm, easy and full of personality.
But out here, everything slows down.
The city gets swapped for woodland. The terrace becomes a long table under the trees. The kitchen moves closer to the fire. The evening becomes less about booking a table and more about being part of something.
It is The Laundry, off-grid.
