Mary meets the Duke of Richmond and his family as well as staff and farm workers from across the 12,000-acre Estate, unearthing secrets away from the well-trodden tourist path. Inspired by what she discovers, Mary creates her own special dish that celebrates the heritage and legacy of this extraordinary home.

Motorsport at Goodwood
A visit to Goodwood would not be complete without a tour of the historic motor circuit, where legends such as Roy Salvadori, Sir Stirling Moss and Juan Manuel Fangio have all been put through their paces. A highlight of the programme sees the Duke take Mary for a lap around the circuit in his grandfather’s iconic AC 16/18.
Other significant classic cars from 1948 to 1966 can be seen at the Goodwood Revival, which takes place every September to celebrate the golden era of motor racing. This extraordinary event, a theatrical and sporting drama, assembles the most significant racing cars and motorcycles along with legendary drivers and riders from the past.
Food at Goodwood
Susan, Duchess of Richmond and Gordon and mother to the current Duke, plays a central role in the programme. She was one of the Soil Association’s earliest members and ran her kitchen garden on organic principles, passing this passion on to her family.
As a trailblazer of the organic movement and champion of animal welfare, she has been instrumental in transforming Goodwood into a model of progressive farming.
Mary spends time with The Duchess, collecting eggs from her prized Bantam hens and discussing the history of food and farming at Goodwood. Mary also explores Goodwood Home Farm with farmer Tim Hassell, shears sheep under the watchful gaze of shepherd Nick Page and has a tour of Goodwood’s in-house butchery with butcher John Hearn.

We’re very proud of our farming heritage at Goodwood; the farm was here long before any of our big events and it has inspired our food philosophy across all of our restaurants. It was an absolute pleasure to host Mary and have her shine a light on our food story.

Goodwood Home Farm, one of the largest lowland organic farms in Europe, has become the linchpin of Goodwood’s sustainable food philosophy. Goodwood is unique in being able to control every aspect of its produce, from the fields where cattle, sheep and pigs graze to the in-house butchery and eventually to the kitchen – where the dishes are created.
It is this unique farm-to-table food journey that inspired Farmer, Butcher, Chef, a sustainable restaurant that showcases lesser-known cuts of meat from the farm’s selection of award-winning beef, pork and lamb.
