Kathryn Minchew – aka The Pyromaniac Chef – offers a unique and enchanting experience in the heart of the Cotswolds with her signature Pygmy Goat Picnics. Combining gourmet smoked picnic foods with the delightful company of pygmy goats, you’re in for an unforgettable outdoor dining experience!

The picnics will launch at Easter 2025 where for £650 (£585 for vouchers  purchased before 10 Dec 2024), groups of up to eight people can tuck into a delicious picnic that includes a selection of carefully crafted dishes and drinks. The picnics are set against the stunning backdrop of Larkhill Vineyard. For those who prefer a more personalised setting, Pyromaniac Chef can bring the party  to a location of your choice within a 40-mile radius of Tetbury.

The stars of Pygmy Goat Picnics are Joan and Dawn, Kathryn’s charming pet goats, and the innovative chef is passionate about creating experiences that combine her love for culinary arts with her appreciation for the simple joys of life. Top notch food and goat cuddles? It’s a winning combo.

In addition to the picnics, Kathryn offers other goat-themed experiences. Book for ‘Journaling with Goats’, a creative session priced at £45 per person that includes tea, cake, and plenty of time to interact with the goats to set your intentions before you create a journal or vision board. This session is perfect for those looking to unwind and explore their creativity, set in the beautiful market town of Tetbury.

Or, book ‘The Bell Tent Package’, offering a whole day and night of goat time, Pyromaniac Chef recipes, and picnic treats. Starting at £1,500 per group, this package is the ultimate getaway for those wanting to fully immerse themselves in the charm and culinary magic of the Cotswolds.
