On booking a course we will send you confimation details in the post and details of how to find us. You should wear casual, comfortable clothes and flat-soled, close-toed shoes for your course.

Courses start at 9.30am so we ask all students to arrive at 9.15am for tea or coffee and to meet their fellow students. The chef tutor will run through the menu and goals of the day with you before you move into the kitchen to don your apron and start cooking.

All of our cookery courses incorporate expert demonstration from our Chef Tutors coupled with hands-on cookery training and each student is assigned their own workstation with stove and sink access, apron, knives, cutting boards, pots and pans, as well as all the ingredients you will require for the day. You will also be provided with a course folder with course notes and recipes that you can take home after the course.

We use local, seasonal and organic produce wherever possible, which means that the course recipes listed on our website will vary throughout the year to reflect the seasons, although the course content will remain the same.

A kitchen assistant works throughout each course day to assist the Chef and wash-up as the course progresses, allowing you to fully focus on your cookery.

The mouth watering dishes you will make during a course day will form part of your lunch or dinner menu. At the end of each course day there will be a chance to discuss the day’s learning with the Chef Tutor and your fellow students.
