Cookery School

Our cookery school offers so much more than a place to learn new recipes. Set within the charming village of Elsworth on our working farm, it’s a welcoming space where you can slow down, enjoy the surroundings, and discover the joy of cooking from scratch using the very best seasonal produce.

Many of the ingredients you’ll cook with come directly from our on-site shops, including quality meat from our butchers and fresh vegetables grown in the surrounding fields. Every course celebrates the changing seasons, inspiring you to make the most of locally sourced ingredients throughout the year.

Led by experienced chef Carlos, our classes are designed to make cooking accessible, enjoyable and rewarding for everyone, whatever your age or ability. Carlos is passionate about building confidence in the kitchen, sharing practical skills and creating a relaxed, friendly atmosphere where learning is fun. You’ll find his dedication to flavour-packed food in every course; he’ll prove that great food doesn’t have to be complex and that anyone can create delicious and inspired dishes. 

Our purpose-built cookery school has been thoughtfully converted from the farm’s old grain store into a beautiful teaching kitchen for up to 10 students, offering an intimate and hands-on experience.

Our courses change with the seasons, so sign up with your email below to receive updates and be the first to hear about new classes throughout the year.
