  Inspired Entertaining - Saturdays
 
A day for the enthusiastic cook and foodie. The menu for these sessions changes according to the seasons so if you have enjoyed one you can return to enjoy another day with us. Working with fresh and seasonal ingredients and preparing our own stock for use in the sauce bases, you will be guided through demonstration and practical sessions to produce a fabulous meal. These sessions are often given as gift vouchers and so we have changed the format of the day to allow you to invite the voucher giver, a friend or partner along to enjoy the meal with you (£20 additional cost). After lunch you will both be able to enjoy an inspiring demonstration before departing.
