Borough Market has invited Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s River Cottage to join them this September, to celebrate London’s culinary heart.

The partnership sees River Cottage leave its west country home and head to the city to deliver a season of cookery courses, free talks and events at London’s world-famous Borough Market. Hugh is also hosting a vegetable feast to celebrate the launch of the latest River Cottage book, Much More Veg, with profits of the dinner going to the Borough Market Trader’s Relief Fund which was set up by the Borough Market Charity to support traders affected by the closure of the market after the June terror attacks.

The partnership emphasises Borough Market and River Cottage’s hands-on, ethical food ethos, using flavours fresh from the field and shore. There are lots of familiar River Cottage faces around the market throughout the month including Gill Meller who is inviting guests into the world of wild cooking & nose-to-tail eating and River Cottage Head Chef Gelf Alderson hot-footing it straight from Park Farm HQ, bringing a fresh breath of Devonshire air and encouraging guests to master a range of new culinary skills.

There is a programme of free talks and demos delivered in the Market Hall as part of Borough Market’s Demo Kitchen. Tuck into a taste of the west country at the River Cottage stall which will be in the Market Hall throughout September, featuring a collection of regional, artisan producers selling the best in local, sustainable fare. To find out more about River Cottage at Borough Market click here.
