Brilliant chef for the day, it was amazing thankyou, and really appreciate the hard work and effort that must go on behind the scenes everyday to organise all you do, as well as to do the day itself thankyou.
“Fantastic food. Perfect for a day in the woods looking for mushrooms. My only regret is I had the car and so could not match the tastes to wine and/or beer/cider.”
“Our chef teacher was enthusiastic, friendly and very helpful and informed. I love cooking and I really enjoyed myself. However long you’ve been cooking you can always learn new things and the dishes we made were all delicious.”
Really good. Great mix of garden walk, demonstrations at the front, and us doing the cooking. Lots of tips during the day. Really good having Sean on hand to support and facilitate. I’m fairly neurodivergent and struggle to do two things at once (listen to instructions and do) but I found it easy to keep up. Excellent day.
Well organised, relaxed, great environment to learn – I enjoyed the course and it was inspiring too!
Great food and all fresh and local, fabulous staff, we picked up plenty of tips
