Cookery School

CLASSES

Here at the Cow Shed we are delighted to be able to offer cooking enthusiasts a range of evening, half day, full day courses and monthly Sunday classes.  The spacious kitchen has been designed with its own Bread, Pastry and Preparation areas and provides an excellent environment to relax and enjoy the expert demonstrations before making your own dishes with the full support of our Chefs.

 Or why not try a 'Follow the Chef' day.  £99 for a full day's tuition in the various  kitchen areas.

 Lunch is included in the price of all Full Day classes. 

 

 Class sizes are small so places are limited.  To make a booking, please phone or email.

 ***  Please contact us if you are interested in a course but cannot manage the dates set. Alternatively, why not get a small group of friends together and ask our chefs to help you organise your own personalised course. ***
