MEDICINE FOOD & DRINK
AT MEDICINE, OUR IN-HOUSE FOOD & BEVERAGE TEAM CURATES A VIBRANT AND DEEPLY NOURISHING EXPERIENCE ACROSS THE MEDICINE CAFÉ, COSMIC CRUST PIZZA, MULTIPLE KA’KAU BARS, AND THE KARMACEUTICALS BAR.
We believe that food is medicine – that what we eat directly shapes our physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. This isn’t just a philosophy. It’s the thread that runs through every ingredient we source, every recipe we develop, and every meal we serve.
Our food ethos is rooted in regenerative practice, with a strong emphasis on organic, local, and sustainably produced ingredients. Our offering is fully vegan, and we are mindful of our carbon footprint at every step – from sourcing to service. Each supplier in our network has been selected through an extensive procurement process, ensuring genuine ethical alignment and a shared commitment to sustainability throughout our supply chain.
Working in close partnership with local producers and practitioners, we weave fermentation, sprouting, and herbalism into our menus – creating food that doesn’t just taste extraordinary, but actively nourishes. We’ve sourced from producers including British Fungarium, Hodmedods, Crops Not Shops, and Hempen, alongside a dedicated on-site foraging team who bring fresh, wild ingredients straight from the land.
MEDICINE CAFE
The Medicine Café is led by Alev – nutritionist, herbalist, birth doula, and the heart of this space.
Alev’s work is rooted in deep care, and that care is palpable the moment you arrive. She is also the Founder of the Honouring the Mother initiative – a beautiful practice of supporting mothers and those with children in arms, offering queue priority and more generous portions. It’s a small gesture that says something large about who we are.
The Café food itself is alive. Gut-loving, deeply sustaining, and built on the understanding that we are not separate from the microbiome that keeps us well. Expect an abundance of prebiotic and probiotic foods, vibrant ferments, sprouted grains, and meals that genuinely carry you through a long day of being fully human. Alongside the food, a carefully crafted range of herbal infusions, elixirs, and tonics – designed to energise, restore, and bring you back to balance.
The Medicine Café is a place to slow down, replenish, and reconnect. Come hungry. Leave nourished.
COSMIC CRUST (PIZZA)
Cosmic Crust brings fire, flavour, and irresistible energy to the field – with two locations on site, including one at the Movement Village and one in the woodlands.
Behind it is Andrea, a man who lives and breathes Italian food. His pizzas are made with organic ingredients and traditional methods, but what makes them truly special is his relationship with the land. Andrea grows much of his own produce and incorporates foraged elements into his cooking – resulting in vibrant, layered flavours and the kind of wild pestos you’ll be thinking about long after you leave.
His space radiates warmth and generosity. We’re genuinely blessed to have him as part of the Medicine family.
KA'KAU BARS
This year, we’re expanding to four Ka’Kau Bars across the site – all led by Meg, a powerhouse Ayurvedic practitioner with a gift for weaving ancient wisdom into every cup.
We use only the highest quality organic cacao, sourced with integrity as part of our wider commitment to conscious consumption. Meg’s offerings blend seasonal ingredients and local inspiration into something that feels genuinely ritual – not just a drink, but an invitation to pause and arrive.
Don’t miss her localised chai. It’s set to be one of the highlights of the year.
Each Ka’Kau Bar is a place for connection, warmth, and a moment of ceremony amid the flow of the gathering.
KARMACEUTICALS BAR
The Karmaceuticals Bar is something special – a fully alcohol-free experience built around functional, sober drinks developed by Karma, a skilled medical herbalist.
The menu is a carefully crafted collection of botanical elixirs, each designed to support your wellbeing while keeping the social connection very much alive. This is mindful drinking at its most inventive – proof that you don’t need alcohol to feel the magic.
This year, find Karma across the site: a morning matcha bar at the Hex, and at the Movement Village. Worth seeking out wherever you are. Blending herbal knowledge with genuine creativity, Karmaceuticals delivers drinks that are both functional and joyful – supporting you to feel your absolute best.
