The Wild Table: The Laundry x Browning Bros.

A one-off woodland restaurant. One weekend only.

This spring, we’re packing up our kitchen and heading to the woods.

In partnership with Browning Bros., we’re bringing our fire-led, flavour-first approach to the wilds of Essex for a one-off dining experience on their fifth-generation organic farm.

Set beneath the trees at Teybrook Orchard, The Wild Table is all about connection. To ingredients, to place, to each other. Expect smoke, warmth, great wine, and bold, seasonal plates that reflect both the land we’re cooking on and the people we’re cooking for.

It’s a restaurant experience reimagined for the outdoors: intimate, stripped back, and rooted in the kind of hospitality that brings people together.

Meet the Browning Bros.;

Browning Bros. is the creation of fifth-generation farmers Nat and Archie Browning, whose family have lived and worked on the land for over 125 years. Once their childhood playground of dens and forts, Teybrook Orchard is now a space where others' imaginations can thrive.

A few years in, Nat’s wife Becky joined the team, bringing her background in events and her love for hosting into the fold. Together, the three of them have turned their organic farm into something really special - a setting for weddings, retreats and off-grid escapes that people return to again and again.

They bring the setting, we bring the flame. This is a collaboration built on shared values: seasonality, sustainability, and creating something memorable.

The experience

Start with a seasonal cocktail in hand before a short walk through the trees leads you to your first bite of the evening, a gathering in the glade with canapés and good conversation.

After that? A four-course feasting menu cooked over flames and served beneath the canopy. Bold, uncomplicated flavours made with local produce, paired with a curated wine list that celebrates the season and setting.

This is dining without distractions. Open-air, firelight, and interesting company in a magical woodland setting.

Children at The Wild Table
Our pop-up restaurant in the woods is aimed primarily at adults and we want to ensure every guest can relax and enjoy the moment. We do believe children should be able to experience the joy of dining outdoors and connecting with nature.

Our lunch sittings are slightly more family-friendly, and we’re very happy to welcome older children to join you under the trees.

Evening services are 18+ to preserve the atmosphere of a slower, more grown-up gathering.

If you’re booking for lunch:

  • Teenagers are welcome to dine from the main menu. Simply book them a regular ticket via the Ticket Tailor link, and we’ll swap their welcome drink for a non-alcoholic option.

  • Children aged 5–13 are welcome to join your table free of charge. We’ll offer them a simple, fire-grilled toasted sandwich with a small salad for £10 per child, payable ahead of the event.

  • Due to the setting and style of service, we don’t recommend bringing children under 5.

Please drop us a line when you book to let us know how many older children will be joining. We kindly ask that families remain mindful of the woodland setting and the experience of fellow diners throughout the lunch service.
