Lunch for groups

The ingredients are consistently local and seasonal, which is why the menu is not available on our website. But there is one dish you can always find with us throughout the year: bacalao.

The Field's Crop Lunch
How about a slightly different lunch? Eat your way through Markens grøde, where food and storytelling are intertwined, and raw materials meet the stories from the novel.
The Hamsun Center's facilitator and chef will put together a three-course meal inspired by ingredients and stories from Markens grøde. Along the way, the facilitator will read aloud from the book. The story of Isak and Inger is as touching and engaging today as it was when Knut Hamsun received the Nobel Prize in Literature a hundred years ago.
Practical information:
You can book Markens Grøde lunch for groups of 10–20 people.
Price is negotiable upon request.
Please contact us via our booking form to find out more about what's on the menu or offers for allergy sufferers, vegans and vegetarians.
Please note that you should place your lunch order well in advance of your planned arrival. Cancellations or changes to the quantity of food orders must be made no later than 14 days before the agreed date, as ingredients are ordered in advance.
