Learn to Cook the River Cottage Way at River Cottage Cookery School
Spend the day discovering the essence of River Cottage cooking, as you master a range of techniques with our expert chefs.
Your day begins with the basics of seasonal, sustainable cooking, the foundation of everything we do at River Cottage. From there, you’ll explore a variety of dishes that celebrate the best of the kitchen garden, the coast, and the countryside.
Bake your own loaf of fresh bread, prepare a vibrant vegetable dish straight from the garden, and learn to cook fish and meat with confidence and care. Round off your day with a seasonal pudding, then enjoy the fruits of your labour over a shared lunch in true River Cottage style.
This hands-on cookery course is the perfect introduction to the River Cottage approach. With inspiring recipes, expert tuition, and a focus on local, seasonal ingredients, you’ll leave with the skills and confidence to cook delicious, sustainable meals at home.

“Luther hosted our course and he was fantastic. Super knowledgeable and passionate about what he does.”
Well organised, relaxed, great environment to learn – I enjoyed the course and it was inspiring too!
“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.”
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.
Great food and all fresh and local, fabulous staff, we picked up plenty of tips
“Luther was absolutely brilliant. Everyone at lunch was saying the same. He is a real asset and credit to River Cottage. He was so passionate and went out of his way to share background knowledge, even telling us where the local ingredients had come from. He really thought on his feet and looked like he was genuinely enjoying himself. Honestly, I do not have enough words to explain how good he was. I could go on about it all day.”
