We are a family run Award winning Cookery School in the heart of the Cotswolds on a private country estate famous for its Snowdrop collection. We have been running DofE Gold courses for over 15 years.

Our courses are taught by professional chefs who help inspire and build confidence in students either heading off to uni or looking to work in hospitality for a gap year.

We cover food safety, knife skills, cooking for dinner parties, international cookery (including Thai, Italian, Indian, Lebanese and Moroccan dishes), quick healthy 30 min dishes, cooking at uni, alternative breakfast ideas and of course delicious desserts.

Each day ends with a relaxed and fun dinner party. All meals are usually served in our pretty herb garden marquee.

Additional activities include a clay shoot competition run by our local shooting school, football, rugby, rounders and tennis.
