Had a really varied and interesting week on the Cookery Skills and Techniques course. Super facilities made even better by the wonderful kitchen assistants. A huge variety of dishes covered, encompassing knife skills, butchery and meat, fish and vegetarian, puddings and deserts, canapes and 3 course meal for friday evening.

I spent a whole day in April making a variety of pastries. It has given me confidence to try a more varied selection of food. Following the success of that day I have just had another wonderful day doing Puddings and Deserts. I brought lots home, much of it freezable. The cheesecake is delicious! The staff are very friendly and... More

Jo, our Chef, was extremely friendly and relaxed. My daughter has lots of food dislikes, but Jo managed to find alternatives and it... More

There were 11 of us, all ages, Matt the Chef and several ladies in a side kitchen preparing things and making dirty pots dissapear. We started... More

My husband, father and father in law attended an evening of wine tasting and found it fantastic. very good value, interesting but good fun. My husband came back and asked when the next one was! would certainly recommend.
