The Big Retreat Restaurant

This year, The Big Retreat restaurant is being reimagined by the team behind NYOM, bringing a truly elevated, feel-good dining experience to the heart of the festival in the beautiful lower walled garden. Led by a head chef freshly returned from several years at the Michelin-starred Spectrum in Amsterdam, the focus is on exceptional food that still feels relaxed, social and accessible — from slow, nourishing breakfasts to vibrant supper clubs and long-table feasts. 

Expect bold flavours, seasonal ingredients and thoughtful menus designed to bring people together, making the restaurant a destination in its own right across the weekend.
