Camping in the beautiful country of Suffolk, with a rustic dining experience like no other

The serene countryside of Suffolk is home to Fire and Feast; a small, secluded campsite and family farm. With such arable open country land at their doorstep, it’s no wonder the owners have enthusiastically created the perfect place to combine their two biggest passions — authentic rustic cooking and the tranquil outdoors. With a picture-perfect backdrop of the countryside, this is an ideal spot for campers to relax, unwind and create unforgettable meals and memories around the campfire.

Fire and Feast offers a variety of cooking demonstrations and hands-on workshops, so you can learn interesting new skills and experience the thrill and enjoyment of open-wood fire cooking. Sustainable farming and locally sourced food are the focus of Fire and Feast — the 100-acre farm is home to free-range poultry and the kitchen garden boasts seasonal produce and fresh herbs. Family, beginner and advanced workshops all emphasize learning the art of outdoor cookery, including using different techniques to build and control a fire, a necessity when cooking outdoors in the countryside. As the campfire wood crackles away, celebrate the best of Suffolk food alongside the other guests, as you are invited to enjoy an alfresco feast in the welcoming communal tipi.

Beautiful meadow pitches and pre-pitched safari tents are available for campers, which come equipped with cooking equipment, picnic tables and views of the countryside by day and Suffolk starry skies by night. Surround yourself with the tranquillity of the back-to-basics farm, set in a rural location but offering an abundant array of places to discover nearby. It’s a place of simple pleasures, a relaxed and comfortable base from which to explore the northeast of Suffolk.

Start with the Suffolk Coast, with its quaint seaside towns and sandy beaches. Adventure into the countryside to find coastal heathlands, meandering rivers and rolling fields — ideal for wildlife lovers, walkers, cyclists and those who like to splash around in the water. Attractions for fun family days out do not go missed — a few of interest and in close proximity include the Oasis Camel Park, Africa Alive and magical treehouses at Bewilderwood. There is history, art, music, shopping malls, quirky markets and, of course, local food and drink experiences.

With food and fun on-site and attractions so close by, come with a healthy appetite and lose yourself in the peaceful yet vibrant environment that Fire and Feast has to offer.

I don't normally post a review online but Fire and feast was exceptional, I'm even hesitant to share this review because I want to keep it to myself but that would be unfair to Judith, Fran, and Co. What an amazing camping experience from start to finish. Loads of room for each pitch, very laid back atmosphere, food is amazing, facilities are better than some hotels, there's even some lesser known activities a short drive a way. You will not be upset after a weekend here. I will be booking again!

We loved the campsite and can’t wait to come again. The pitch is very private but still has a communal feel to it. The barn has great bathroom facilities, fridge and freezer for storing food and Judith and the team are very responsive to any questions or things you might need. A beautiful campsite!

Great stay! The friendly team made me really welcome - enjoyed their knowledge of local history, maps, farming and of course their vision and commitment to raising sustainable food and contributing to the local food culture. And the facilities were great! I think the showers alone would even persuade my camping sceptic husband to join me another time! Highly recommended.

We stayed in one of the pitched tents for a long weekend and had a great time. The wood fired cooking apparatus was great to use and the tent was well supplied. Hosts were very welcoming and easily contactable. Facilities were very clean and the camping barn was cavernous which is great for a rainy day. Beautiful location, very peaceful and exactly what we were looking for. All I would say is to make sure you bring something alternative to heat water etc if the weather is a bit rainy, but we made do just fine and really enjoyed our long weekend. The Sunday brunch was amazing - definitely worth attending - I imagine the Saturday night dinners are great too, though there wasn't one while we stayed. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely site, perfect for pitching tent , great low meadow to separate each tent set-up. Great to have Roadii fire cooker and picnic bench, and iron cookware (we forgot ours!!) Loved little details: who gives a crap loo roll. Wildflower prints in loo. Maps for local walks- we did Roman Road one. Strong sustainable feel to site. Fran, Judith and Chris and Bob great hosts. Friendly and offered info. Check out the under the pier arcade. My teen boys loved it. Thank-you

We had a fantastic time at Fire and Feast. The site is perfectly set up with fantastic facilities. The kids loved it. We really liked that cars were parked separately but close to the pitches. Each pitch had plenty of space and was set up with a picnic bench and we opted for a Roadii fire which was really easy to use for cooking and keeping warm and really added to the experience. It is a beautiful setting and really peaceful. The yurt where we had breakfast is a great addition and we had tasty food. Fran and family were brilliant hosts. Chris very kindly showed the kids the turkeys on the farm and told us all about it. Would definitely visit again thanks very much for our stay!

Surrounded by stunning views big starry skies within easy reach of the Suffolk coast! Hosts are very friendly, lots of local knowledge. Facilities are super clean, and Sunday brunch in the tipi cafe was delicious, they have an amazing plant garden and cook everything on site. We stayed in one of the safari tents, perfect with a great bit of kit to build fires and toast s’mores! And a fridge full of icecream and lollies on one of the hottest weekends was a blessing! We highly recommend staying here we’ll be back :)

The facilities were really good, and the pitches were large and with ample space between the tents covered by meadows. Dinner and breakfast at the main tipi were really good quality. We had a cooking course with our children at the local the woods. Very well delivered and sun for the kids. The host was really accommodating to our request. There are many events within the 30 minute drive. We will be visiting again.

Classic South African Safari Tent - e3d9
We had an amazing stay at Fire & Feast. On arrival we were warmly welcomed by Judith who gave us a tour of the campsite. The safari tent was all set up with colourful bunting and cushions on comfy chairs. Tasty homemade shortbread beautifully wrapped also went down a treat! The pitch had a picnic bench and was surrounded by thigh high wildflower meadow to provide privacy and the children loved seeing the butterflies, ladybirds and bees. The campers barn had excellent clean showers and WCs, a fridge and freezer, lots of electrical sockets, a huge table with chairs for big group dining, a cosy corner. Cooking with wood on the cooking tripods was fun and the communal firepit was a hit with the adults and especially the children for roasting marshmallows. We enjoyed a delicious Saturday dinner in the Tipi and Sunday brunch as well. The herb garden with seating and wildflower bank (in progress) as well as access to the fields beyond was a bonus for the children could roam freely and really engage with being outdoors in the Suffolk countryside. So wonderful at Fire & Feast, we are planning to come back again next year!

My girlfriend and I had a lovely time staying at Fire and Feast. The location was beautiful, with great skies. The pitches were a good size and felt private in the field. The toilets and washing-up areas were all clean, modern and new, with a fridge and some fire cooking equipment provided. There's a lot to do around the area - we kept busy for three days. The campsite is the start of a great concept to show off the farm. We can't wait to come back in a few years to see how it's developed.

From the host
If you love good food, woodfires and getting away from it all then Fire and Feast is the place for you. With big Suffolk skies above and a backdrop of birdsong and meadow flowers rustling in the breeze, our family farm is just the place for a long lazy weekend or a family holiday making memories around the campfire. The secluded campsite is intentionally small to provide you with all the space you need to relax and the large meadow pitches are cut into long grass to create further privacy. If you fancy stretching your legs, our network of re-wilded tracks and fields across the farm link to local footpaths, providing country walks for little legs or keen hikers, and miles of rural lanes are perfect for cycling. We love cooking on woodfires and want to give you every opportunity to experience the joy of outdoor cooking too, so every pitch is equipped with a full fire cooking kit/ fire bowl and we are always on hand to share tips and recipe ideas. Local food is abundant, with the Fire and Feast Kitchen Garden providing fresh herbs and seasonal produce every day, a great opportunity for your littles ones to discover the joy of munching on fresh garden peas or the wonderful taste of corn-on-the-cob picked from the garden. Our small onsite stop showcases local food from the area.Take your fire and food adventure further by signing up for an adult or family cooking workshop, with options to suit both new and experienced fire cooks and for shared family cooking; or avoid the washing up and dine in the Fire and Feast Tipi with rustic suppers on Saturday nights and a Sunday Café offering brunch, fresh brewed coffee and home baked cakes. For days out, you are spoilt for choice. The Suffolk Coast, with its quaint seaside towns and unspoilt beaches, is less than thirty minutes away; Framlingham and Orford Castles are both good to explore; shopping in Norwich and Bury St Edmunds and a multitude of small market towns with quirky independent shops offer wide retail choice; Easton Farm Park and Kessingland Wildlife Park for family days out and Snape Maltings, Summer Theatres in Aldeburgh and Southwold and a multitude of music festivals offer something for art lovers.
