Feast by Fire, a woodland dining experience near Stamford Bridge, has won Specialist Venue of the Year at The Press Food and Drink Awards 2026.
Feast by Fire, a woodland dining experience near Stamford Bridge created by husband-and-wife team Michael and Lauren Sharp, has won Specialist Venue of the Year at The Press Food and Drink Awards 2026. The venue offers guests five-course menus cooked over open flames while seated beneath trees, with the menu inspired by the surrounding landscape.
Guests are welcomed with fireside drinks and seasonal snacks before settling into woodland seating equipped with blankets and fire pits. The venue's success rests on its commitment to local sourcing, with ingredients selected from Yorkshire producers and foraged from the surrounding woodland where possible. Menus evolve seasonally to support local farmers, growers, cheesemakers, bakers and artisans. Judges were particularly impressed by the passion and attention to detail underlying every event and the remarkable transformation of the previously neglected site.
