The Knepp Wilding Kitchen and Shop is a multi-functional series of spaces featuring a café/restaurant and farm shop showcasing sustainable, local produce, alongside dedicated visitor facilities. Initially envisioned as space for an external organic produce company, the project organically developed into the ‘public face’ of Knepp to the estate, welcoming thousands of visitors. The project supports the Knepp Estate’s rewilding initiative and focuses on the reuse of agricultural barns.
