Sit back, relax and enjoy the Chef’s Table

We invite you to an unforgettable culinary experience. Through the intimate setting of the Cookery School, you’ll taste and discover the magic that goes into a gourmet menu.

You’ll enjoy a delicious five-course menu, cooked in front of you by our Cookery School Tutor Chef. Offering a wealth of experience gathered around the world, bringing the experience to life with a vast array of skills and anecdotes to satisfy anyone with a love of food and cooking.

Most dishes featuring ingredients grown in the neighbouring walled garden (where possible and seasonal) and ingredients sourced from the wider 20,000-acre Estate, including venison, grouse and trout.
