Cookery Experience Day
The Cooking Experience is one of the few truly re-creational Cookery Schools in the UK. Based in Hadleigh, a delightfully rural Suffolk town, you can spend a Fun and Inspirational day with us in a small group, all cooking together under the supervision of Mark David or one of his Course Chef/Leaders. The cooking sessions are broken up with breaks, where we sit, drink, eat and talk! You leave with new ideas for your cooking repertoire, and feeling you have experienced a really enjoyable cooking experience with like-minded people.
All the courses are based on simple-to-prepare meals with decent ingredients (much of them locally sourced) and our most popular course is “Quick, Easy and Impressive Entertaining”. You will feel challenged without being put on the spot.
You can book individually on one of our themed courses or bring a private exclusive group and choose your theme. We run corporate, team-building cooking sessions for local and national companies.
Our venue includes two working kitchens, a barbecue patio and a marquee to seat 40+ people for a sit-down meal.
