Hereâs whatâs on the menu for our Rough Patch fireside supper with Kathy Slack.
An evening shaped by the season, cooked over fire and gathered around long tables beside the flames. Food grown from the Peterley kitchen garden, shared alongside stories of restoration, growing and finding sanctuary in the soil.
Kathyâs book Rough Patch tells the story of how a difficult chapter led her back to the garden; and how cooking, growing and the quiet rhythm of tending something living became a way back to herself. Itâs a story about food, but also about healing, connection and the restorative power of nature.
Expect honest, vegetable-led cooking, thoughtful conversation, and a slower kind of evening on the farm.
Thursday 4th June 2026
7pmâ10.30pm
The Barn Kitchen, Peterley Manor Farm
Every ticket includes a copy of Rough Patch, with Kathy joining us throughout the evening to cook, talk and sign books.

đ«PEA, SPINACH AND LEMON THYME CAKEđ« - Put the kettle on and call me Popeye. And if you doubt itâs delicious, greater cooks than me have trodden this path before: @samuelwgoldsmith in his excellent The Frozen Peas Cookbook and @helen_goh_bakes and her glorious spinach cake in @guardianfeast recently. So if you wonât take my word for it, take theirs.

đSEASONAL SUNDAYSđ at @fortnums today was a spring feast of rhubarb, elderflower, herbs, watercress and deep dive into potatoes to celebrate the arrival of Jersey Royals.
Thank you to everyone who came for lunch and humoured my potato tasting. I just love cooking with you guys.
Weâve all come to expect the best from F&M but I never get over how incredible the team here are. Thank you @hattycary@andreajeriri and co - you rock.

Weâre bringing Kathy Slack back to the farm and we cannot wait.
@gluts_gluttony âs new book Rough Patch is the story of how a difficult chapter led her back to the soil, and how a kitchen garden became her sanctuary. Itâs honest, hopeful, and quietly life-changing.
This June, weâre shaping an evening around it. Fire pits. Long sharing tables. A seasonal feast cooked outdoors from the Peterley kitchen garden. Kathy cooking alongside you, talking, and signing books late into the evening.
Come if you need a moment of stillness. Come if you want to hear a story about returning home to yourself; or come if you just want really good food and woodsmoke on a summerâs evening.
Tickets on sale now, link in bio. đ±
