Marcus Wareing's Tales from a Kitchen Garden

Marcus Wareing investigates unusual food flavours that he can use in his cooking. He pays a visit to Shoreham in West Sussex to meet up with Christian, a former chef who's turned his hand to foraging for edible produce.

Marcus Wareing has to deal with his pigs, who are still causing trouble in their fenced-off woodland home. Next, Marcus gives his chickens a health check with the help of his neighbour Zoe and decides to expand his collection of hens.

As the owner of two rare breed Mangalitsa pigs, Marcus Wareing is keen to master charcuterie and invites Phil Beale over for a masterclass in curing meat.

After doing some essential repairs, Marcus gets the digger out as he's keen to start cultivating an area of his land called the Bund. He wants to plant a hedgerow for the wildlife out of tree seedlings, so he drafts in Rosanna and Signe to help.

Marcus explores new possibilities on his Sussex smallholding. First, he checks on the new pine forest he's planted. He's been experimenting with using pine in his cooking, including making an infused gin, but it seems the deer also enjoy it.

Marcus seeks advice from Paul Matthews, an expert in the ancient art of hedge laying; back at the smallholding, Marcus pickles some of his excess crop of carrots using herbs from the kitchen garden.
