The Laundry at Cherry Tree Farm
A fireside takeover on the North Devon coast
8–11 August 2025
This August, we’re bringing Brixton to the bay. We’ve invited South London’s neighbourhood gem, The Laundry, to Cherry Tree for one weekend only. They’re arriving with fire pits, flavour, and their signature flair. Led by Kiwi chef and restaurateur Melanie Brown, their team is taking over our barn and creating an open-air kitchen for a weekend you won’t want to miss - everyone’s welcome, whether you’re camping or passing by!
Mel’s known for bold, ingredient-led dishes and bringing people together over great plates and good wine. From Friday to Monday morning, Mel and the team will be cooking everything over flame, using OFYR fire pits, from sunrise breakfasts to walk-up dinners. Menus will hero produce from Devon, including seasonal greens, fresh fish, slow-roasted cuts, and more.
Saturday night is our Barn Banquet. A one-night-only, ticketed fireside experience that brings the energy of a London restaurant to Croyde. Enjoy big sharing plates in a low-lit atmosphere for £60 per person for an unforgettable evening.
Who are The Laundry
A neighbourhood spot on Coldharbour Lane in Brixton, The Laundry is known for bold, honest food and a warm Kiwi welcome. From brunches that turn into late lunches to cocktails on the terrace, they are a team that knows how to host. For one weekend, they’re bringing that London energy to Cherry Tree, swapping bricks for our barn and the city skyline for wide open skies and a sea breeze.
This partnership is about shared values, neighbourhood feel and generous hospitality. The menu will be as locally sourced as possible, celebrating Devon’s finest. Bringing a little slice of what Mel and her team do so well to our corner of the coast felt right. If you’ve eaten at The Laundry, you’ll know what we mean. If you haven’t, this is your chance.
