A Woodland Restaurant by The Laundry x Browning Bros.


Following sell-out success in May 2025, high praise and much demand, The Laundry x Browning Bros. will reunite 19th-21st September 2025 for another Wild Table weekend at Teybrook Orchard.

The Wild Table returns to Teybrook Orchard for a second chapter of open-fire feasting and connection beneath the trees. With bold, seasonal cooking deep in Browning Bros. fifth generation, family-run organic farm, just an hour from London.

Expect a new menu, the same magic — and even more moments around the flames.

Rooted in early autumn’s bounty, this edition of The Wild Table draws inspiration from the richness of the season: earthy roots, wild fruits, and ingredients that speak to shorter days and golden light. Chef Restauranteur Melanie Brown’s signature fire-led approach meets produce grown just metres from your seat, for a dining experience that’s both theatrical and deeply grounded in place.

The Wild Table is more than just a pop-up, it’s a celebration of seasonality, community, and cooking outdoors. Together with Browning Bros., we’re creating an experience that honours the land, champions flavour, and invites guests to slow down and savour.

The atmosphere is intimate, off-grid, and joyfully unhurried — with glamping available for those who want to stay the night and wake to breakfast cooked in the woods

“The Wild Table was a gorgeous pairing of The Laundry's culinary excellence and Browning Bros unplugged, wooded space. The event was a triumph, taking "campsite cooking" to a whole new level.” Phoebe Anderson, London Mouthful

Starting with a seasonal cocktail in hand after a short walk through the forest, guests are led to their first bite of the evening; a gathering in the glade with canapés and good conversation. After that? A multi-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.


The TEAM

Browning Bros.
Browning Bros. was founded by fifth-generation farmers Nat and Archie Browning, whose family has called this land home for over 125 years. What began as their childhood landscape of forts and dens has grown into a unique space for others to connect, explore, and imagine. A few years into the journey, Nat’s wife Becky joined the fold, bringing her background in events and natural flair for hosting. Together, the trio has transformed Teybrook Orchard into a beloved destination for weddings, retreats, and off-grid escapes — a place people return to, again and again, for its warmth, beauty, and sense of possibility.

Melanie Brown
New Zealand-born chef and restaurateur Melanie Brown is the force behind The Laundry — a much-loved South London restaurant known for its seasonal, ingredient-led cooking and easygoing hospitality. With a background that spans professional kitchens and wine expertise, Mel’s approach is rooted in simplicity, provenance, and bold flavour. Whether at the pass or by the fire, her food celebrates the best of what’s local and in season — thoughtful, unfussy, and always made to bring people together.
