The Off to University course is for school leavers and undergraduates who are about to move away from home and cook for themselves for the first time.  It is designed to boost confidence and develop students’ culinary skills and knowledge of cooking, giving them the ability, inspiration and enthusiasm to whip up delicious, affordable meals for flatmates, family and friends.

Courses are intensive and great fun, each day concluding with a dinner party. Over 100 different recipes are covered on a five day course.

Other courses on offer include a Chalet Cooks course and The Orchards Course, which is a good all round Cookery Course.

There are small class sizes of 8 students in a kitchen, with the fun of up to 48 young people at the school.  Facilities include a multi-use games area for tennis, football, basketball, a gym, table tennis tables, pool table, volley ball court, badminton court (summer), bar and dancefloor etc.

Orchards Cookery also helps with recruitment enabling young people to gain employment in their school and University holidays in ski chalets, private houses, shooting, hunting and fishing lodges, holiday villas, yachts etc.
