Alison Lockett-Burke is the woman behind Fig and the Wild
Meet Alison Lockett-Burke a super astute, creative and innovative businesswoman raising two empowered and diligent daughters.
"It’s very much an everyone muck in kind of vibe at home. Whether I’m busy with work or not it’s kind of expected that we all run the house together really. I love being a mum but don’t see the benefit to anyone of making that mum role being me running around after everyone, so we all work together. "I make a point of blocking off the diary for at least two weeks in the summer even though that’s the busiest time and also block out good chunks of the other school holidays so we can go on little adventures. It’s about trying to find the right balance and then learning from mistakes.
Where did the idea for the supper clubs come from? "When I was about 21, I spent a summer working on a farm in Denmark. All the workers camped in a farm field and the farmer had converted a barn to a massive kitchen and dining room. We were all from different places and countries, but that kitchen was where we all hung out and eventually started cooking and eating together.
"Last year we did two sold out nights in a tipi right up in the Scottish wilds and also had a once-a-month summer residency at Bert’s Kitchen garden on the Llyn peninsula in north Wales which is a beautiful place to cook and eat. They’re brilliant events and it’s really nice when you see people chatting to people they might not have met before around the table.
