EVENING WORKSHOPS

In addition to our full day cookery classes, we are now also running Evening Workshops for a maximum of 15 students.

Each workshop will have a particular theme and cover the preparation of two or three dishes, often including several variations that can be made from each.

Students arrive at 7.15pm for a glass of wine or soft drink and the class will run from 7.30pm to 9.30pm. Stephen Bulmer will talk you through each dish to be prepared and the group will then work together to prepare the dishes under his supervision, so there’s plenty of opportunity for everyone to get involved in the cooking.

Workshops will run most Thursday evenings and are priced at £45 each. Dates and subjects are listed below, with current availability (updated nightly) shown in the far right column. To book a course, simply click on the date of the workshop you have selected and you will be taken to our reservation page.

If you book a course of 5 workshops at one time (for the same person) you pay just £200, bringing the individual price per workshop down to £40. Just click below on the date for the first workshop you want to attend and list the other four workshops in the additional information box on the reservation page.

If you have any questions or would rather pay for your workshop(s) by cheque, please call us on 01296 712111 to reserve your place provisionally.
