Running from Tuesday 30th September to Saturday 11th October 2025 (excluding Thursday 2nd October), this autumn pop-up promises to transport diners deep into the wilderness through flavour, setting and atmosphere.
A Feast Inspired by Nature
Set high above the fairways of the iconic Twenty Ten golf course, Rafters provides the perfect backdrop for this forest-inspired journey. With raw wood interiors, natural textures and sweeping views across rolling parkland, guests will be immersed in a dining space that mirrors the untamed beauty of the great outdoors.
A Menu to Excite the Senses

An expertly crafted wine and cocktail list complements the earthy and vibrant flavours, making every course a sensory adventure.
