The Copse AT RAYNHAM
Private dining in the heart of Norfolk
Nestled within the historic Raynham Estate, The Copse offers a truly immersive and distinctive culinary experience. Surrounded by ancient woodland and sweeping parkland, this unique venue celebrates the very best of seasonal dining through a series of carefully curated pop-up events.
At its heart lies an open kitchen — a stage where talented chefs bring fire, flavour and creativity to life. A bespoke grill and wood-fired pizza oven, designed exclusively for Raynham, give The Copse its signature flame-grilled character, ensuring every dish is both memorable and unique. Guests dine amidst the natural beauty of the estate, where the landscape becomes part of the experience.
Throughout the year, The Copse hosts an evolving programme of pop-up dining events, welcoming renowned chefs, innovative food concepts and seasonal feasts. Each event showcases the finest local produce, including Raynham’s own grass-fed Aberdeen Angus beef, alongside ingredients sourced from trusted regional producers.
With its emphasis on live-fire cooking, creativity and connection, The Copse is fast establishing itself as one of Norfolk’s most distinctive dining destinations — a place where food becomes theatre, gatherings feel extraordinary, and lasting memories are made.
The Copse: a unique venue, available for private hire
When The Copse is not hosting its seasonal pop-up dining events, it is available for exclusive private and corporate hire, offering a memorable setting for celebrations, gatherings and special occasions in the heart of the Raynham Estate.
With its open kitchen, bespoke grill and wood-fired pizza oven, The Copse brings a sense of theatre to private and corporate events alike, creating an atmosphere that feels both relaxed and truly special.
Whether hosting an intimate supper for close friends, a milestone birthday, a corporate away day or product launch, or a countryside wedding celebration, the space can be tailored to suit a variety of occasions throughout the year, surrounded by the beauty and tranquillity of the Norfolk countryside.

Past Events
Beef & Burgundy at The Copse
This August, SmithsOnion Norfolk joined us at The Copse for a relaxed summer pop-up celebrating Raynham beef, local produce, exceptional burgers and carefully chosen wines.
During the day, guests dropped in for big-pan cooking and freshly made burgers. In the evening, The Copse was transformed into an intimate Norfolk bistro, with Raynham beef at the heart of the menu, served alongside fine Burgundy and locally brewed beers.
Behind the pop-up were Kit Smith and Alan Bird, who brought together decades of experience across butchery, hospitality, events, fish and meat supply, and restaurant consultancy. Having first worked together more than 15 years ago, Kit and Alan combined their expertise to create generous, produce-led food experiences with a strong sense of place.
