THE COOKING

Open‑fire technique and creative camp cooking

Meals are prepared over an open fire on site, using live flame to cook grilled chicken, smoked sausages and other specialty items that you might not expect to find in the woods.

THE MENU

A mix of spicy, smoked and vegetarian options

The menu includes Peri Peri Chicken Stack Burgers, BBQ platters (BBQ chicken, pork and smoked sausage), venison burgers (availability by request) and a vegetarian mushroom burger option—served with sides such as baby potatoes tossed in wild garlic butter.

THE SETTING

Evening meals framed by forest sounds

Dinners are staged outdoors in the forest around the Tipi Adventures site, letting the sound of the river and birdsong enhance the sensory experience of cooking and eating by firelight.

The experience emphasizes local ingredients and simple, bold flavors—whether a spicy peri peri chicken fillet stacked in a burger, a smoked‑meat BBQ spread for a small group, or a carefully prepared vegetarian mushroom burger—while the surrounding forest provides a calm, natural soundtrack.
