THE SHARED TABLE
THE SHARED TABLE IS A YEAR-LONG SUPPER SERIES INSPIRED BY THE ETHOS OF OUR FORMER CULINARY DIRECTOR, SKYE GYNGELL.
Hosted across Heckfield's Hearth and Home Farm along with Spring in London, it brings together a considered line-up of chefs and growers who have shaped — and continue to share — Skye's ingredient-led approach to cooking.
Guests are welcomed to communal tables for relaxed, generous evenings that celebrate the very best of each season. Menus are shaped by what is growing, foraged, and at its peak, alongside the relationships with the farmers and producers behind each ingredient.
Each gathering is an expression of collaboration and care — a moment to slow down, to connect, and to experience food at its most honest: thoughtful, rooted in place, and made to be shared.

STAY THE NIGHT
From character-filled rooms to the intimacy of the Moon Bar, healing time spent at The Bothy, and the many activities on the grounds, a stay at Heckfield Place offers the opportunity to experience The Shared Table as part of the rhythm of the estate.
Stay the night, or linger for the weekend, and discover all that makes Heckfield special.
REGENERATIVE
We follow biodynamic principles across our estate – a form of regenerative farming that goes beyond organic, eschewing the use of chemicals and encourages life in its many forms. The idea of giving back to our land is close to our heart, and why we say everything begins with the soil.
